The Delayed Traveler.

Those who know Jill well know that she never has traveled too well. Very few of her trips go off without a hitch as far as travel goes. Most of her trips into and out of Chicago to come visit are usually accompanied by long hours spent at either O'Hare or La Guardia. This has become such a problem now that we do not even speak to each other for the week leading up to whatever trip might be occurring for fear it is bad mojo. Messages are sent back and forth concerning a car service and hotel reservations. Her bad luck for this stuff is contagious, it afflicts me whenever I travel to see her as well. Voice raised in O'Hare I have shrieked, "Why the hell are you calling me?" right before my flight was inevitably delayed. I have gone to quite a few music festivals with Jill and with the exception of the first, every other one has been a test of wills. There was the mud and lightning of the Gathering of the Vibes 2000; the traffic, mud, and misery of Coventry; and the utter ungodly heat of Lollapalooza 2005. However I am pleased to announce Jill took off on time, has landed and her bag was the third off the carousel. Sorry about the constant updates but this is big news!!!! She is on her way to my house as we speak, time to hang out and then on to Wrigley Field.
