So now what?
I’m home, and I’ve had a long weekend to relax and hang out with my wife and get accustomed again to the idea that I don’t have to go get on a plane again tomorrow, etc.
One problem with doing all that in a month is that I didn’t really have time during the month to digest what all was going on. Now that I can sit still, I’m regretting not carving out a little more...
Day 31: Homeward Bound
On a flight to Portland, six hours give or take from JFK, getting in just a little before midnight.

Currently sitting in E9 at ORD, waiting on a plane that was apparently late out of Boston and has managed to touch down as of a minute or so ago, four minutes before it’s supposed to be taking off again. Chicago has been the only...
