alexpgpA limo whooshed Natalie, Kyle, and me from the house to LaGuardia in almost no time at all (it being Saturday and all), and I set off on the first leg of my flight, to Atlanta, on time and in good spirits.
Once in Atlanta, I learned the gate had changed, then the flight was delayed due to maintenance issues, and then again due to staffing issues, but it wasn't anything I hadn't experienced before, and the overall magnitude of such setbacks was perfectly tolerable, though annoying.
Upon arriving in Houston, I embarked upon my first Uber ride, which transpired uneventfully, which actually is sort of an understatement. Once I understand how that is so, I might hold forth on the subject. Suffice it to say that, based on my first ride, I am a satisfied customer.
While in the air, I got about three-quarters of the way through Ryan Holiday's Ego is the Enemy, trying to inhale it in one gulp and knowing that I'll have to reread the book another few times to gain the best benefit. There are places where I could see my past self acting on both sides of the issue—alas, with the preponderance of such appearances on the "ego" side of the ledger.
When I finally opened the door to the house, the dogs were hugely happy to see me—the cats, not so much, but then again, they've never been particularly inclined to let their feelings show one way or another.
I am fairly well tuckered out. I think I will have a salad and hit the rack. At the very least, anything work-related will be relegated until the morrow.
Cheers...
