Woke up in Europe. Flew out of Asia. Going to bed in home sweet home Carolina. Eventually. My bag had an even wilder time, so hopefully it shows up.

Also snowing in Istanbul. :)

If I understand correctly, Turkish Airlines actually boards from the back of the plane to the front. Everyone talks about it, let’s see how it goes.

Supposed to be on a flight to turkey, but this will do.

Spent 8 hours at the airport. Ubering home. Will now miss our food tour of Istanbul and the free day I had to enjoy myself.

Audiobook listeners. I’ve got about a 20 hour travel day starting tomorrow afternoon. I’ve also got an Audible credit burning a hole in my pocket. Not looking for any non-fiction or anything serious. What’s a feel good, mindless novel that I can listen to all day tomorrow and into the next day.

Most painful thing I’ve done in some time is return jewelry to saks. The choices were pay $10 or do it in person. 15 minutes into trying to return. Should have just paid the $10.

Geez. Can’t I get something edgy.

Me too Cinnadog, me too.

Enjoy the balmy Carolina winter. Who needs Florida?

Wait, you are down the street?

8 hours into this Saturday trip home. I’ve made it the equivalent of a 3 hour drive.

May never get to Florida at this rate. 4 hour delay.

Jax. But it’s single digits in Ohio right now. :)

One last trip for 2025. A nice 48 hours basking in the Florida “warm” and then straight into the Ohio winter.

Haa!

Think of all the calories he saved you!

That’s what those older kids are for. I stopped grocery shopping years ago for this reason, then we were left with one kid without a drivers license. The pain. The agony.

So which car wash was sued and now we have to ride through in the car. The whole point is to chill and grab a coffee while they clean it. I’ve switched multiple car washes for this reason. And I know now the drive through and vacuum yourself are really popular. Guess I will do it at home.

At RDU, about to board. “I spy with my little eye…the service engineer with mega-status about to board first class”

This was my 6th year of Gobble & Gorge, but my first year of having bad enough knees that I walked. Sayonara running. Was still able to have a great morning with the fam.

37 in NC. A close second.

It’s been 20 years, but I feel ya

See the prettiest, red, tree on my walk.

It feels like no one is going to SfN this year.

In November of 2023 I submitted an online passport application. It was not approved in time so I drove to DC and did it in person with the help of @foushee.house.gov . I just got official notice that my “new” passport is being shipped from that digital application.

Same. I knew there was a reason I liked you.
