Allow Me to Assure You . . .

April 29, 2008 by Betsy Bird   4 comments


. . . . that only a delightful Delta flight involving five hours in the sky, a delay of 3 hours, and zippo lunch or dinner would keep me from posting today. Mucho info in the coming week, but for what I feel like may be the first time ever, I have no info for you for two days in a row.  The horror . . . . the horror . . . .

    It’s all that left coast excitement. Now that you’re back to the sleepy pace of the big apple, you’ll rest up.

    No, no… it’s airplane enervation. I know it all too well. I have this theory that they can fly your body around, but that your soul has to walk. It’ll catch up in a day or two. In the meantime, comfort food and unchallenging TV are your friends. Embrace them.
