Inspired by a phone call by a former roommate of years gone by;
I spent the "Xmas" holidays in Portland, Oregon visiting Mom, sister and other assorted loose-linked family. I didn't get to some of my other longest-association friends; but I will be back.
Hopefully, Mom will still be there.
Flying was an adventure, because the airline (Southwest) had changed my scheduling about 5 times before I actually flew. They were attempting to manage / forestall more of the disconnections that occured some months past; when the S*** hit the fan because of Covid, weather and staffing issues (perfect storm).
It's like that.
Because my sister likes cheaper alcohol, I was lugging some bottles of bonded beverage in my checked luggage and that overflowed my regular allotment such that I was rather overburdened; but it was well received at destination. (oh my back)...
Somehow, soda pop over ice and a handful of pretzels do not a meal make.
I did remember beef jerky and fruit for the return flights.
Now... back to work?
