I’m at the Los Angeles airport, waiting for my flight back to Htown.  I got here at 3:30pm for my flight that leaves at 7:45pm 8:15pm (long, stupid story).

4 hours to kill is a lot, but LAX is filled with lots of laptop/cellphone charging stations.  And, I think LAX is the first airport I’ve been to that offers free Wifi. rawk!

Best of all, the women’s restroom has a hand dryer that wants to eat your hands OM NOM NOM NOM

Things are slowly getting back to normal.  Houston’s biggest problem is lack of power in areas, but Galveston and the surrounding areas are definitely suffering the most - towns are completely gone.   I think some Houstonians need to keep that in mind - yeah, it sucks to be without power, but at least you still have a house to get repowered.

On a happier note, the Tour de Art is still on for this Friday.  I am semi-excited:  on the one hand, I haven’t run in….forever…..so I’m hoping the CRP/AED folks will be out there to revive me when I collapse.  On the other hand, at least I’ve been carbloading for an entire week.
