Travels with Plink and Rolly [part 3]

[mdlbear]

Wednesday at Mom's was fairly quiet -- breakfast with the Hochstuls[sp?], a Mac demo, a firedrill, an outing to A Southern Season, buffet dinner with the Rodins (family friends and neighbors from back in Connecticut), a Mac demo, and ending with sitting in the living room jeering at Bush's speech. I love my Mom!

Thursday was mostly spent getting ready to go; easy because I was already packed from the night before. I had a three-hour layover in Atlanta; since I hadn't had much exercise and since the airport is nearly a mile long (6 terminals with 1000' between them, and an underground corridor that runs the full length) I got in almost 4 miles worth of walking before I settled down to some Chinese fast food and a bit of work on the laptop.

My reading on the plane was Stars, edited by Janis Ian and Mike Resnick. Excellent; I'm about 2/3 of the way through it.

Finally got home to my family, and hugs. I like traveling, but... Had a late but fantastic home-cooked dinner of chicken and dumplings, a nice hot bath, evicted the stuffies from my side of the bed, and a good long snuggle with my flower_cat.

Got up at 5am, of course, due to the time change. Used it all catching up with LJ and Groklaw. I definitely need to cut back on blog reading -- I need to get some stuff done this year. I'll prune when I get home this evening.
