1. One morning, I shot an elephant while I was still in my pajamas.

  3. Could have been worse.

    The house is still standing.

     


  4. Not fit…

    …to be around humans right now.

    Taking the kid to school, then climbing back into bed…Yes, bed. That is what I should do. Just that. but…

      I have pictures on my big camera, little camera, phone, and tablet, so I will put them all in one place and then the CHSH flood will begin.

      Also, I’m going to follow a bunch of people I met in Chicago. I didn’t get everybody’s names, so that might be a trick.

      And I should send some notes to some people to let them know how awesome they are, cause that should never go unsaid.

      And I should do laundry.

      and the kids, bless them, left a dish or two to wash.

      and, gotta catch up on all the tumbling I missed.

      That should be about all I can handle today.

      Maybe drive to Chicago next year?

      blahh.

     

  5. - Mongoose Lemur -

     

  6. The Blues Brothers - “Sweet Home Chicago”

    Seems appropriate this morning.

    Happy Tuesday!

     


  7. Home now

    19 hours later.

     

  8. Happier times, 12 hours ago.

    If you are travelling through Pearson airport in toronto, and you see my sh*t, its because somewhere around hour 9, I lost my sh*t.

    At least four more hours to go, maybe six.

     


  9. Still in the airport…

    …boarded plane.

    Plane has flat tire.

    Asked to get off the plane.

    Estimated delay, about 90 mins of our connection time.

    Will we make it home?

    (Insert here either “jeopardy” or “mission impossible” theme music, or depending how long this takes, the star trek “Kirk/Spock battle theme”)

    Air travel is stressful, yo.

     


  10. On odd but nice occurrence…

    …at O’hare, a nice older lady on her way to Nashville invited us as her guests into the private members lounge. Free wi-fi and snacks!

    Strange, strange weekend.

    Making friends!
