I just heard a plane! I swear it was the first in two days. I hope this is a good sign for at least some travelers coming into or going out of Dulles.

I have a trip tomorrow morning but it doesn't look too good mainly because crews and airplanes are stranded all over the system. My trip is missing a few crew members and there are no more reserves left in base. The only way to get them is to fly them in from another base. It will be a long recovery day tomorrow.

I finally made it home!! We actually landed 15 minutes early. Then the reality set in, they only had one baggage claim station open that I could see, so that took a while for everything to come out. The one thing I didn't even think of was the taxi line, there were literally over 100 people in line and no cabs outside. Thankfully my wonderful wife woke up the boy and came and got me, but by the time I left the line there were another 100+ people behind me. I guess that is the one disadvantage of having an exclusive carrier and a limited amount of SUVs. All in all, it was 2 hours from the time I landed to the time I made it home, but it I could be in a hotel again tonight so am very thankful.

How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh? Got a a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Got a, got a nice litte story you're working on there? Your big novel you've been working on for three years? Huh? Got a, got a compelling protagonist? Yeah? Got a obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Got a story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? Yeah, talking about that three years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? No, no, you deserve some time off. |

Damn we were hoping to go with you  We looked at flights and can't book anything international leaving tomorrow am. We then started looking at flights in the US to anywhere warm and just didn't find anything great ...so I guess we are staying put and just dealing with the storm like everyone else.
