I Shot an Arrow Into the Air

After five flights and 500 miles on the road, our weekend excursion to the midwest is complete. America’s heartland was looking good, despite ill-tempered Mother Nature plaguing us with a miserable and near-constant rain.

While we were away our apartment bathroom was torn apart; our shower door and sink were replaced, leaving us scrambling to put all bathroom and grooming essentials back where they belong.

I always marvel at air travel, man’s greatest achievement. Not a single problem or complaint about the several flights required for a cheap weekend out-of-state retreat. Though US Airways does charge an absurd $20 for check-in luggage, their complimentary beverages and polite crew eased our cruel gaze at the aforementioned check-in luggage receipt.

A nice sojourn, but reality commences tomorrow.
