AD, sadly there are no sneak trips to the Aloha State. I'm chilling in CO. I have to add that the internet access was not "free" per se, since I did in fact have to pay for the room at the airport. Still, $45 for several hours of blissful privacy and a place to recline and check email and talk on a messageboard about alive stuffed animals is well worth it.

The weather here in CO is hot. HOT!!  My tundra-stiffened body is having some difficulty acclimating. Plus my skin is deadly pale. My sister mercifully let me use some of her self-tanner so as to avoid pilots looking down and being BLINDED by my luminescently giraffebelly whiteness and thus having planes falling out of the sky while the pilots claw at their faces and scream, "MY EYES!". It was like 90 degrees (Fahrenheit) yesterday. SUUUUCK! Today I was roped into helping wash and wax vehicles belonging to my dad and his new wife. I cannot complain, though, since my dad lets me drive his truck rather than having to rent one of my own. It is a thing of beauty. My truck in Alaska is a 1986 1/2 rusted out Nissan Pathfinder, and although I love it, my dad's 2006 Silverado with bitchin' awesome sound system has it beat. I can even drink a cup of coffee or boba tea without having to be bothered to switch gears, since his truck has an automatic transmission! Sheer luxury!

Pale is dandy by me. Because skin cancer is lame no matter what the "cool kids" tell you.

Man, why can't more airports have such rooms? I just spent last night sleeping in a chair in the Pittsburgh airport, and then I had to come straight to work after my plane landed here. Let me tell ya, I'd be a lot perkier if they'd had rentable rooms.

(And no, my plane wasn't delayed or anything, I just had an early flight, and rather than get a couple hours sleep and then drive the two hours to Pittsburgh at 3 am, I thought I'd drive to the airport at midnight and just wait there. Maybe not my greatest plan, but a plan nonetheless.)
