Haven't posted much lately. Holiday stuff has me swamped. But it's mostly out of the way now. Harry had a lot of baking to get done for his family and I had to bake a bunch of cinnamon bread to give to folks at work. Between the two of us, we've thoroughly trashed the house. It's slowly coming back together ( Read more... )

I was right. They cancelled his flight, BUT they've shoved everyone onto the late flight as I expected. He just called and said that they're boarding. But the bastards first announced that the flight was cancelled, THEN they told them to go to a new gate for seat assignment a little while later. Nothing like a quick dash of your hopes when you're ( Read more... )

I know their cunning little plan. I've been checking the US airways website and cross-checking it with that of LGA. The bastards are holding up Harry's flight in order to wait for a flight coming in from Columbus that is supposed to fly to Rochester later tonight. Ironically, it's the one his boss was supposed to take, but she switched to the " ( Read more... )

Harry's still waiting in NYC. Flight got pushed back again, then the plane landed and the people disembarked. About 30 minutes ago the airlines said that there was a maintenance check on the plane, and now they say that the plane is moving to another gate. Estimated time of departure is now 10:20. Fuckity. If he had gotten on the 4 PM train to Roch ( Read more... )

After yesterdays travel snafu, Harry managed to get to NYC this morning OK. He's now waiting at the airport. His 6:59 PM flight got pushed to 7:38 PM with a scheduled departure of 8:11 PM. I've been checking the FAA website and there's a traffic management thing going on where they're delaying arrivals at LGA. Methinks that they're just waiting to ( Read more... )

Well, today was a day of uncertainties. Harry was supposed to fly out to NYC tonight for work, and instead of flying back in the evening as is his custom, he decided to go visit his sister in CT and return on Sunday night ( Read more... )

Had a great weekend, if busy. The dinner was a lot of fun Saturday night. One couple cancelled about two hours before dinner...one of them had the flu. So, there was quite a lot of leftovers. The dry aged prok was great, I really must do this one again. The mushroom soup turned out better than I thought it would. We were exhausted by tthe end of ( Read more... )

Well, we got some stuff done tonight, but it's getting late. Harry's been sacked out on the couch for sometime, I dozed off in the chair ( Read more... )

I thought I'd get back into regular postings after Thanksgiving, but alas, no. I had to hit the ground running for holiday stuff and things for work. An Uber-grant and papers up the whazoo. All good problems to have, but tiring. On top of that, we're planning an enormous move in Feb where eleven labs and faculty offices, and the dept support ( Read more... )

Pooped tonight. Left work a little early so I could get everything done I needed to do tonight. It was pretty dead at work today anyhow...got the important stuff done and then I was outta there. Managed to walk the pooch, lift (leg day), and get organized for the trip ( Read more... )
