At the airport
We're having lunch at SFO with some friends. Our flight leaves in about an hour -- first to LA, then Auckland. I have brought the following entertainments for our trip:
- Several audio recordings of This American Life episodes - on the iPod
- Other newly added items on the iPod - Billy Bragg, Crowded House (of course)
- Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
- Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections
- ACBL's Learn to Play Bridge software on my laptop
- SCRABBLE (tm) game on my Handspring Treo (last resort)
- Headphones for listening to in-flight audio
- A recent issue of Harper's
This morning I went running with friends, had pancakes at Crepes on Cole, finished packing, got a massage. We had so much cr*p to take to the airport that we had to recruit two drivers -- Ariel's friend Jill and sister Alix. Thanks for the help, guys!

Hope you both survived the red-eye. God-speed, dear 1288.
Lord of the Oscar. How about 11.
Woo hoo! Go LOTR!!!
