life without being connected

i'm infinitely grateful to timmy for letting me use his blackjack in boston and convincing me that it would be the next phone i would purchase. I do not know how i could operate in my current profession without it. I've been in 3 cities and in 2 hotels in 4 days. my day begins at 6:30 and typically ends around 9 or 10. i love every second of it (sort of...details to come) but without having my email in my pocket, i would either lose touch with what needs to be done or be so inundated with email when i check it at night that i would never get to sleep. lucky for you, i now have time to blog about how great that little device is.

also, i'm working on my next athletic conquest: the 60 second quarter mile. should be interesting trying to train for this one in the winter.

who's a ho? idaho!

not really idaho. more like texas, california, and washington in under 7 days. lately i spend more time in hotels than a prostitute. i've already come to despise airline passengers. there are 3 types:

1. those who travel all the time and think they are god's gift to airlines and demand the utmost respect (i hate them the most).
2. there are your typical liesure travelers who do not know airport protocol and jam up the lines. they are, however, usually the most courteous.
3. then there are your first time flyers who want to talk your ear off on the plane. seriously, i don't really care that your six year old finally got potty trained. good for you. gold star. i will certainly exchange pleasantries and perhaps a little small-talk with my fellow passengers, but i really do have stuff to get done while i sit on my ass for 4 hours. so be quiet. and if you must fall asleep, drool on your own damn self.

i make it sound horrible, but it's really not all that bad. i just get frustrated easily on planes. and hawkins, i have no idea where you fit into this. you're just a travel anomaly.
