Wait

 Because I was a last minute “sub” my flight is different from the other fellow. It is kind of nice being alone and a “nobody” at the airport.  Idle chit-chat is not my forte.  I  am now safely through TSA and am awaiting the time to board the plane.  Because I have had a bit of a feeling of “largess” this afternoon…. I have treated myself to a Two Hearted IPA as I await boarding.  Not a normal thing for me to do at the airport, but I thought, “What the hell? Live it up!”  I just imbibed a generous mouthful of the delightful elixir, and its intense “hoppiness” came through exquisitely.  So, so pleasant a flavor.  

With my teaching all day up until this point, I could not yet investigate Iwan Ries options. BUT, I have thought of a potential plan that MAY be feasible.  When I get to the conference tonight, I will try to investigate further.  

I ran a relatively decent 8 miles this morning.  It is hard getting even that in when I have to be at the U ahead of an 8:00am classroom start.  So, I am “ok” with those meager miles.  My earlier, longer runs will hopefully allow me to accomplish my weekly goal of 50 after I run tomorrow and possibly Saturday if needed.

  1. Bon Voyage! It sounds like the trip is starting out well and that you're working on some pipish plans. :)

  2. I applaud your airport imbibing! I've pegged you as a tightly wound person, maybe even a Type A person (if that term is still considered viable), who benefits from allowing yourself small indulgences -- like a modest drink or pipe. Enjoy the trip. You need the break.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
