Life of Wry

Nothing to this day but travel. Peter and Maya picked me up at 10 to take me to the airport .. so nice they both came. A little lateness here and there, but got off in time to make the connection in Salt Lake City (barely, the plane was fully loaded by the time I boarded… last!). I left my book (Leah’s Count and the Saint) on the Det –> SLC plane. We had to wait for last minute baggage to be loaded (probably mine), so the flight attendant said I had the time to run to the other plane to see if they’d found it. The gate agent gave me a very narrow time window to conduct this recovery effort, but in the end it was not successful. Damn… my signed copy of the Count and the Saint!

I got a window seat for my last flight (and my own row) so got to take some pictures. Here’s leaving SLC:

Here’s the Great Salt Lake, just outside of the city:

Here’s our arrival in Sac (mmmm, green!)

On the way home from the Sac airport, I ordered a new Count and the Saint. Arrives next week. I also got some great news upon opening my suitcase at home: the jar of sauerkraut that L&C gave me 1) was still cold (wrapped in an ice pack and bubble wrap) and 2) did not break on all my clothes!

Why sauerkraut? L&C eat one spoonful a day, for a healthy gut. Imma gonna try it.
