i made it.. barely. when i called to check my travel info yesterday i found that my flight left two hours earlier than i was told. so my main man, donman, had to put the peddle to the metal to get me to the aeropuerto on time. he´s the only dude in the world i would trust driving like that.. in addition to jr and dangeruss walker.. but that´s a given. i walked up to the gate just as they were closing the doors : ) the flight sucked.. 10:30 to sao paulo and then transfer airports and catch a flight to goiania five hours later.. total flying time is 12:30. not only was the flight long.. during the flight my powerbook decided to drink a glass of wine.. courtesy of the ahole in front of me. now my powerbook won´t boot up. maybe it was time for a new macbook pro anyway : ) i also managed to knock a glass over on myself while i was fast asleep.. thanks ambien! ambien + wine = comatose (i don´t think many dr´s would recommend it). next time i´m going to bring one of emry´s sippy cups.. and maybe one less pill. other than that.. all is well. i´m a little groggy (duh) but after a few brazilian coffees, i fell pretty good. i´m not sure if i´ll have an internet connection where i´m staying.. if not, i´ll try and find one. lena´s best friend, iris, is getting married today.. so iris (or paul) if you read this.. CONGRATULATIONS! also, if you´re kicking it in dfw this weekend.. be sure to go out to the time trial on saturday. they´ve put alot of work into getting it setup.. so you better represent. i miss my girls! - out for now surFy
