Sometimes it's only later that you realize you kicked fate in the shin bone.

I'm so excited about the luck I've had lately with weekends out of town. A couple of weekends back, I went to Wilmington for the first time: it's one of the friendliest, prettiest, most comfortable little cities I've been to here in the States. This coming weekend, I'll be visiting my little brother in Philly. Cheesesteaks, Philly Museum of Art, and blessedly cooler temperatures here I come! I'm so thankful every time I get to see a little more of the US. You would think it'd be easy to get out in your own back yard, but whenever I try to plan anything, there's always one complication or another. We are all so awfully busy, for one thing. It makes me extra-happy when things do work out.

Well. I got as far as Atlanta over the course of 12 hours. Then I came home. AirTran, you are a disaster. I'd love my luggage back. Kthxbye.

NOTHING ELSE GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR. DO YOU HEAR THAT, UNIVERSE? NOTHING GOOD.
