Went on a 5 mile run with the team Saturday morning.

Flew out to New York City Saturday night, headed straight out to Times Square where we walked around then ate at Rockefeller center while watching the skaters from ice level. That was pretty neat. We got back to our hotel pretty late. We got up later than we wanted to Sunday morning, headed back to Times Square.

Most people who know me, know that I'm a huge Monty Python fan and have been dying to see SPAMALOT. When I found out that the Richmond show had canceled, and the the Broadway show was ending in January, I had to go. So, I got cheap tickets up to NYC, cheap tickets to the show, and a shit hotel in the toilet bowl of America (Flushing, NY), and we were set.

Of course Delta (Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive) had canceled our flight due to weather, I was prepared to drive up there. Air Trans to the rescue. Open seats, cheaper than the Delta tickets, and an exit seat (for my big, long legs) to boot! The flight home on US Airways was almost interesting. After hours on the phone with Delta, I finally got the refund department, where they issued me a refund for the canceled flight. In the process, canceled the return flight on US Air... Luckily they were more than accommodating. Due to the ticket (Delta) fiasco, we left out of LaGuardia a bit late, but thanks to a psycho pilot, we were able to take a steep dive into Richmond, bounce down the runway at a high rate of speed, and head to the terminal without hardly slowing down (really). Flight time from NYC to Richmond... less than 40 minutes. I'm sure that's a record of some sort for a pencil with wings.

Tonight... cross training.
