My trip thus far
Mar. 31st, 2006 05:18 pmI have been having a wonderfully wonderful visit. I'll try to get everything in, but I may skip some stuff, oops.
So, Meg picked me up from CMH without a hitch. The plane ride from Memphis to CMH, btw, was a special kind of hell. It wasn't really NWA's fault, actually, it was just the plane itself. I have gone from a general distaste for Embraer jets (little 2-seats-to-a-side jet) to a profound hatred of them. This is directly related to the fact that as the years go by my right foot (and only my right foot, weirdly) swells more and more when I fly, so I have to take off that shoe to stop the pinching. Which is great and all, but then the Embraers are so wee that I'm also contorting my legs at bizarre angles such that blood flow becomes a major issue. Not fun. Not NWA's fault, but not fun. Also not fun is the large man in the seat next to me, making me turn awkwardly to fit in the seat. Anyway.
I spent most of Wednesday night at Rennie Dinner and then at Fight Guild practice. I'm very impressed with how Fight Guild has grown progressively more structured under Cathy. I remember it being rather disjointed and lackadaisical, since Pat didn't really adequately rein in the trouble-causing elements (*cough* = me). Ended the night sitting and drinking coffee at the Rennie House with Jeff and Jessica.
