Buzz kill

I had a grand old time in Sonoma with Pam and the gals. It was such a great weekend and what a pain that I have to wait at O'Hare. My San Francisco flight landed at 7:45 p.m. and my St. Louis flight was supposed to leave at 9:45 p.m. Well, it's 10:04 and I'm obviously not on the plane. We are waiting for O'Hare Air Traffic Control to give us the go to board. Our tentative departure time is 11:05 p.m. This situation just reinforces my belief that you should avoid connections at O'Hare if at all possible.

UPDATE: My flight is now leaving at 11:20 p.m. Arg!

Here are a few points so far in the big bachelorette weekend in Sonoma.

• San Francisco is beautiful. 
• San Franciscans cannot drive.  The majority of the drivers are incapable of using a turn signal or deciding which they want to turn. The hills don't make it easier. 
• You can't fly out of Chicago O'Hare without changing gates, and most of the time your gate change will not be announced.  
• The house we rented in Glen Ellen is totally retro!  I'll take a few snapshots and post them later. 
• My body did not adjust to the time change.  That's why I'm typing this blog at 6:40 a.m. PST.
