Jones taking off his "travel socks" outside of Atlanta's Hatfield Jackson Airport.
Hollywood back at home this morning and I quote "looking good despite not have showered in several days and only getting five hours of sleep last night".

Hollywood and I made it back to Folsom last night at around 12:30 AM after flying out from Brussels about a day earlier.

Nothing too exciting happened on the way home except that I was "probed" by security at the Brussels airport for having a CO2 cartridge in my bike bag. I was a bit nervous when two dudes and a lady escourted me into a large stainless steel room and started interrogating me but I survived.

Then on the flight from Brussels to Atlanta I was awoken from a peaceful sleep by a dude who passed out on his way to the bathroom. He passed out, collapsed, and hit his head on my knee which woke me up. The guy did not die or anything but I guess he had some heart problems so they gave him oxygen and sent him to first class (I would put money on the fact that he had a headache the rest of the afternoon).

The rest of the flights/connections were really long but eventually Karl and I made it to Sacramento. I wonder if Sayers made it back yet? He had problems with his ticket and put on a different flight than Karl and I which had an extra layover in LA. If it makes you feel any better Mike, Karl and I sat on the runway in Chicago for over an hour waiting for baggage to be loaded.

As a side note I would recommend not taking a cab from Folsom to the Sacramento airport because it will cost you about $90 dollars................and that is without champagne.

Now it is time to drag my "Ambien Bird Flu" ass to the doctor so I can get fixed up for philly week. I wonder if they have ever heard of it before? Jones diagnosed me.................

later,
