Worst Airport I've flown out of?   SFO!     San Francisco!

Well, at least if you are dropping off a rental car that is!    It was a maze of hallways and elevators just to get to the tram that slowly gets you to the terminal.   Not fun when you are running late!   But then again, one time we took a limo from the Palomar Hotel to the Airport and were dropped right at the door and breezed thru.

McCarren in Las Vegas in no picnic either.   Especially during a convention when there are an extra 100,000+ people in town.    There were over 100 people in line at the taxi stand.    Then on the return the security line was the longest I've ever seen in my life!

My worst ever was Detroit. I vowed at that time never to fly there again and so far, I have been able to keep that vow. It has been 12 years so far.

Dallas is no picnic, either. I had to take a TAXI to get from one terminal to another (fare: $7.50) because their little subway/train thingie wasn't running because of "bad weather." Huh?

Ah, sweet Elle...

But aren't you up very late at night (or early in the morning)? You need your beauty sleep, sweetie!

My sleep got a little screwy - wound up taking a nap from 7:30pm to 10pm.  I know, terrible, worst time.  I didn't plan it.  So now here I am. 

But I'm getting so much done - I opened my divshare account, which I recommend.

My husband is an early, early morning person and says he gets his best work done between 4 am and 8 am...

Gee, that sounds like our commuter rail system!  ;D

Temperature already in the mid-fifties down here. On my way into the office I noticed daffodils had sprouted.  ???

It was up to 50 here as I drove to work. We have crocuses in our front flower bed...

I have counted around six cherry trees in full bloom in Boston.  The forsythia and witch hazel are getting ready to pop.  We'll have upper 60s tomorrow.

Which means...boys in shorts!

No, not yet...just the green shoots. But they are very definitely growing.

The cherry trees behind the parking lot next to my condo building bloomed in mid December. They are actually over blooming!  :P
