Sitting in a lounge in A Terminal of SFO. I allow myself a few beers while traveling and when I walk or ride for days in a row. So I'm having a few in the hopes I get some sleep before a long day in Lisbon.
I think I like morning flights because I've spent half a day sort of keeping busy in a distracted way. Theis is a 4:30pm flight which is nice as it arrives 11am. 2 to 9 would be a little nicer. This morning I walked the dog with Laurie; drove Aidan to school; made a half hearted start to my taxes; and partially set up a new computer that I ordered two months ago and left sitting in a box.
All the while I was reviewing in my mind everything I was bringing. One thing I intentionally did not bring was headphones. I have an old set for the plane movies but phones no longer have jacks for those. I did not want to be tempted to put on any podcasts which getting quite depressing. I will look away for a month.
My pack is not at all packed tightly. There is a good amount of slack at the top. I happy with my packing for this trip ... at least until I am freezing some cold morning.
Turns out I was a little hungry. This pasta and meatballs is disappearing quickly. Time for one more beer and then head to the gate.
Bom Caminho!
