FO, when I come back, do you think you'd be able to pick up me and one of my co-workers from the airport? It'll be sort of late Friday night (maybe around 10 PM), so it shouldn't interfere with your work.

Yes, but you'll have to give me exact instructions on what to do.

Oh my God, they found Tom.

Hey. I'm at the Detroit airport, about to eat dinner. There's free wifi at the restaurant. I'm doing okay, but I forgot to take a photo album of FO, so I'll just have to content myself with her "about" page.

But you had to have the BIIIIIG salad!

There's my Smooshy! I love you.

Think of what you're saying,
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out
And get it straight or say good night.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

So, we made it to San Diego, and are at our motel. We might get something to eat; I don't know the plan...

Flying in a plane was making me nostalgic for the times I flew out to be with FO...

Glad to see you had a safe trip. Take care of yourself.

I got Stephen King's Blaze at a little Borders at the Detroit airport, and read the whole thing, about 360 pages, during the flight (even with taking some breaks to just listen to my MP3 player). It moved along okay, but he started the book with a forward about how, when he was younger (the original draft was from the '70's), he though the story was so relentlessly depressing that it was actually funny (he presumably either changed his mind or the story). I thought a lot of the depressing stuff was believable, but two things really went over the top. Also, it doesn't seem like the story has much of a point, unless it's just to be a tear-jerker. As far as that goes, it's not as effective as The Rocking Horse Winner; I didn't have an emotional reaction to the story.

Good to see you're keeping yourself entertained.

Well, I got my work shoes. That was the first time I've ever really been "downtown" as opposed to just driving through it. I also stopped and got groceries on the way home. I basically only picked up some essentials, although I did get another art drawing pad and some more mechanical pencils, too.

My Billy Joel CDs came today.

Well, Spaghetti Warehouse and the science museum are downtown. We even walked to the science museum, so you could have taken in a bit of downtown then.

I think I'll use mechanical pencils for drawing any more guitar stuff. I first used a half-pencil -- a pencil you sharpen, then use a power sander to take half off, leaving a straight edge you can perfectly put against a ruler, with no offset. Well, that's the theory. I'm not sure it's really any better than just using a mechanical pencil.

Not that "downtown". The "downtown" that's right south of us. I've been to the other "downtown" lots of times.

Oh, you mean the suburb downtown (I think).

I grew up in that suburb, and I still have never done anything downtown there.

I didn't stay very long. Just long enough to get my work shoes from the Red Wing shoe store. The guy running the store was the first to mistake my birthmark for a head injury in a long time.

I feel bad for people who do that because they must feel really embarrassed when I tell them what it really is.

I didn't even notice it until I just looked through the rest of the mail (the part that wasn't a big box full of Billy Joel CDs), but I got my Stimulus Payment today.

But isn't it their fault for being dumb?

I don't think it's a common enough thing for most people to automatically know.

That doesn't mean it's not perfect the way it is.

Anyway, the conference doesn't start until tomorrow, so we had nothing particular to do today. We went to La Jolla, which at least was pretty. I took off my shoes and socks and waded into the water. The interesting thing about that place is that it has a lot of rocks, which I guess are just like compacted sand. They are eroded away by the water to make really weird and interesting shapes. I saw a few live crabs, as well as a few crushed ones.

We went to another beach, but by then I was so tired and bored. We, as a group, are really indecisive, and we only went to that beach because the person who was driving wanted to. To think we could have gone to the San Diego zoo today instead!

I think they're planning on going out to eat later, but forget that! I don't want to wait until they're ready (we didn't even eat breakfast until 11, local time, because they were so slow getting around), and I'm tired and okay with resting in my room. So, I just ordered out.

I'm already bored and lonesome for FO.
