Random Bits
I left for a business trip on Sunday.
That would be the Sunday after Thanksgiving. As someone who travels a lot for
her job, I can get - well, a wee bit cranky about amateurs who think that
boarding an airplane should include standing in an aisle for minutes on end
while carefully storing their luggage in the overhead bin so as to take up as
much room as possible, or the really tall men who shoulder their way in front of
me at the luggage carousel, leaving me (not short by most people's standards) to
peer around them in hopes of seeing my bag whiz by (NB: While the travel-traffic
of humanity flowing through various airports wasn't truly terrible, travel on
the Sunday after T-day is not a good idea and should not be repeated).
I came back yesterday evening. There was already a really tall Christmas tree at National Airport. Oh, dear. I should not be surprised in the slightest at this (since DCA, like many airports, now basically has a shopping mall in its main concourse), but somehow I was. It was one of those trips that simultaneously seemed to last for a month and no time at all. So the Christmas tree was something of a shock. I was having a hard time remembering that last Thursday's dinner included turkey, after all. Dooce wrote the post I've been stewing on about life needing to have a TiVo remote. Damn her. And she did it better than I would have, too.
