My commute isn't bad. If all goes according to plan, it's 35 minutes in the morning. But after work during the school year, the bus can be a clusterfuck, and I never feel like walking in the dark, so then it might take an hour.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I like my seven-minute commute a whole lot. I do want to experiment with taking the bus, though.
Made it home, gonna take a full strength Benadryl or two (I keep the children's dissolvable a at work so I don't need water and can maybe not crash at my desk) and chill out. Its been several hours, I expect to not get any worse.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Dana, it looks like Hobby and IAH are about the same price- and distance-wise. Is one better situated from a traffic standpoint?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hmm. I like Hobby because it's smaller and less crazy. Easier to navigate through, fewer people and lines. I don't honestly know about traffic. If you can manage not to drive at rush hour, that will help. Hobby is closer to downtown, but 45 south is notoriously ugly. As long as your meeting isn't north, I'd probably go for Hobby.

Yikes, -t! I'm glad you're okay. Take care getting home.
TCG's commute suddenly became 15 minutes longer since the schools went back this year, going to same route as always. I was hoping it was temporary, but it appears to be permanent increase in traffic.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I did not brave the crowds at today's parade, but I did get some pictures from where I work: [link]

I am now in not-so-sunny St. Louis. The Moonrise Hotel is pretty amazing; if we ever hold a f2f in St. Louis it would be the perfect venue.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My district has gone from electronic voting machines back to filling in little circles on paper ballots which are then scanned. I guess because that's less likely to be hacked?

And yes, the Moonrise Hotel would be wonderful. Have you ever been to the City Museum?
