I did end up staying in bed a bit longer than I originally planned this morning, and I did consider changing to the later flight, but, instead, I splurged on a cab. At least the cab fare was less than what the change fee would have been. And I made it to JFK in only 25 minutes from my apartment (compared to the hour and a half it would have taken me on the A Train).
My brother, Don, picked me up at Dulles, and then we all headed to Red Robin for lunch. -His daughter, Alexandra, was with him. -Those new-ish Garic Fries at Red Robin sure are garlicky!!!
