Flight attendant on our flight looks like Glenne Headly from when she was in 2 Days In The Valley.

It’s a rather odd feeling to fly from the US Central time zone to the Eastern time zone, then drive back in to the Central time zone in the same day. The whole “lost an hour, gained an hour” thing has zero meaning in this case.

DFW 🚀 GSO to drive the college kid back home for the summer.

Will fly over 4-5 states and drive back through 4 states later today.

“Why do you have no desire to go on a cruise, Chris?”

On the road with the oldest driving him back to college in North Carolina. As naturalized and native Texans, we fulfilled our obligation of stopping at Buc-ee’s. (This one in Leeds, AL.)

The Empowered Parent Podcast crew is at the #replantedconference in Chicago this weekend!

The only thing I can think after the Austin-to-Dallas drive is, “Why are people?”

In the last 22 hours, I have:

  • flown 860 miles from Texas to North Carolina
  • drove through 4 states (NC, SC, GA, AL)
  • spent the night near my parents' old home in AL
  • drove through 4 states (AL, MS, LA, TX), having lunch with my parents in MS, for a total of 1,002 miles

DFW 🚀 GSO

Dallas or Fort Worth -> San Antonio might be a fun trip with the boys the next time we head down there for vacation. Of course, then we’d have to rent a vehicle

First time the boys have been in an ocean (even if it was only their feet this time). This was something of a scouting trip, taken at the end of a relaxing day around the resort.

Bruce Schneier’s exasperation is informed by his job-related need to spend a lot of time in Airportland. He has 10 million frequent-flier miles and takes about 170 flights a year; his average speed, he has calculated, is 32 miles and hour. “The only useful airport security measures since 9/11,” he says, “were locking and reinforcing the cockpit doors, so terrorists can’t break in, positive baggage matching”—ensuring that people can’t put luggage on planes, and then not board them —“and teaching the passengers to fight back. The rest is security theater.”
