Yes, I am but a wanderer in this land, forced to go from place to place looking for a way to get to LA...

I wake up bright and chipper at 4:30am - today is the day. I am going to fly to LA and tomorrow I will present for my biggest audience ever. Wow! Drive to Microsoft and drop off my car, my wife drives me to the airport. I jump out of the car and get in line to checkin... Megan comes dashing in with my cell phone and sunglasses - doh! Disaster avoided.

I booked the wrong flight, so I took off at 7:45am and went into Reno. I had a portable DVD player, fully charged, so who really cared - just watch an extra movie. Land in Reno, and wait for about 20 minutes while the people get off, and the new group boards the plane.

We sit. Our flight has been delayed. I load up Matrix Revolutions and zone out. No big deal. Oh, our flight was delayed due to fires in LA. We get the option to get off the plane if we want to stretch our legs - I get off to walk around, and maybe charge my DVD player.

... to be continued.
