So strange.  I got to the airport an hour before the flight which is always (before today) more than enough time, but they told me there was no way I'd make my flight.


They explain the reason for the unexpected lines, tried unsuccessfully to get me in a later fight - so it's  tomorrow instead. 

Sorry.  Were you checking luggage?

Full day today. Went to the Museum of Contemporary Art, had Chicago pizza for lunch, took an architecture cruise in tge cold and toured the American Writers Museum. Then had dinner at Shaw’s Crab Shack. Now in a brew pub.

Great tour.  Last time I took it the temps were way too hot and the guide was boring.

I tried their lemon pistachio old-fashioned (a baked donut).  Delicious. I hear the blueberry fritter is also heavenly.

Our guide was excellent and refused to talk down to people. He explained contextualism, postmodernism, modernism, deco and even echo deco.

I am not in San Antonio but I sense I have not received my copy of The New Yorkers yet. Should I file a complaint with amazon?

I never realized the youngest of them is the exact age as the Vixter and in fact was in her graduating class and knew her all through school, although they ran in different circles
