hell is flying over chicago and

realizing that if you booked at LHR-ORD-SEA flight, you would be home 4 hours earlier.

Sigh.

As lovely the new terminal at DFW is architecturally, the 30 minute taxi to the gate did not improve moods after 10 hours and 20 minutes of flying time in coach with two pret pots, one extra branston pickle sandwich, one bag of just potato kettle chips from the BA lounge and two lovely apples from neal's yard. However, I grooved on morcheeba, the new pornographers, sarah harmer and other lucky spins of the wheels on eckbo2 the ipod and read up on the UK gossip and gardening tidbits.

I'm too tired now to upload pictures, but the trip was great and I have yet another good idea of dinner on Thursday night next time im I'm London (one month away).

Yes, J, we do have luncheon reservations at St. Johns. It should be very interesting, but in a good way. :)

Did you bring me a papaya? Half my group is in Honolulu this week for meetings and I'm jonesing for papaya?

Hope your upgrades cleared and that you found a lounge with a shower.

no shower, but no one seemed to mind. I spent part of the la-iad watching "the man who came to dinner" ---a dvd of the broadway revival that starred nathan lane and jean smart. Fab, abfab that one is. I'd rec it, though it is a touch long. however the end of the second act and the total third act more than make up for any draggy parts. Funny thing is that the great character of Banjo is played by Lewis J Stadlin...one of the actors who picked up the part of "Max" in The Producers after Nathan Lane left.

that's my arts review of the day.

and no papaya. the one i ate didn't taste so hot. The pineapples were a-one, however.
