Okay, I've now made it to Minneapolis. Snagged a standby flight out of Las Vegas, which is a good thing as it gives me plenty of time to make the Iceland Air connection tomorrow. Amazingly, my bags are here too!
I must say, even though USAir had flights going bad everywhere today, the employees were uniformly courteous and helpful. All but one that is. Maybe they are just used to it. They don't seem to have a very good reputation for being on time.
My level of boredom can be judged by the fact that the in flight movie was "Bridge to Terabithia"... and I thought it was pretty good! I was also trying to do some Java programming work on the flight but my Java installation seems to have gone south. I tried reinstalling it but that didn't seem to help. So I may not be able to do anything about that until I return.
I did come up with some good travel reading for this trip... some old detective noir pulp fiction. I already sucked one down. I am thinking I should start a book list to the side here...

This sounds like a hell of a long way from Finland. Are you lost? Will you get there in time to meet Mom and Carol?
Hello Brian,
I am sitting in Elkton having breakfast with your dad. He says hello and good luck with your class. I hope it is a wonderful experience.

Hi Brian,
Had breakfast with your Mom yesterday. (Wish I knew how to text so this could be shortened.)
Pleasant!!
Debra is bringing her chicken-n
dumplings over to night and we will get most of the cherries picked.
Good luck! & enjoy. Love Dad
