So I'm sitting here working on a Saturday morning, and all of a sudden I hear this fan type noise (over music I was playing) outside the building (that's impressive right there... I never hear stuff outside the building). I get up and walk towards the door, and the noise grows to sound like a jet engine. I then realize it's simply our generator, doing a weekly test run. Wow. That thing's monsterous.

I'm sitting in the Detroit airport right now, taking full advantage advantage of the wireless access I paid $7 for. We're here about two hours...
always missing something...
I hate that last minute panic of trying to figure out if you've remembered everything you need to take on a trip. Normally I forget my phone charger...
back, but not for long
I have to be quick this morning, since it's 8:35, I leave for the airport in two hours, and I haven't packed... The trip to Vegas was good. Traffic...
