Oh look, it’s another of my favorite mid-travel entries where I post from a kiosk in an airport. I know you guys love these entries so much … or is that me?

Anyway, I’m in Dallas right now, leaving for LAX in about an hour. My original itinerary had me flying to Burbank, but my flight out of Ft. Smith was overbooked and they were offering $250 travel credits to get off, so I got off. The plane, that is. The flight was delayed and I was probably going to miss my Dallas connection anyway (my bags surely would have), so they actually paid me to do me a favor and put me on a later flight anyway.

The next connecting flight to Burbank out of DFW was at 6:30 tonight, so I opted for the 1:30 to LAX. That’s one of the benefits of living in a major metropolitan area. After two weeks in Arkansas, I think 20th Century dentistry is surely another.

Beth was planning to surprise me by picking me up at the airport, but I’ve foiled that plan once again. I keep switching flights or missing them or getting delayed or whatever so that she keeps not being able to surprise me. It’s getting to the point where my big surprise is going to be that she’s even at home waiting for me.

Okay, 2 minute left on my $4 investment in writing this entry. I give and I give and I give and what do I ask in return? Nothing. But my birthday is coming up and the 2003 Harley Davidson Road King Classic comes in just my size, so if anyone wanted to show some appreciation…
