Double-Booked

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 09:03:08 -0600

Months ago, I agreed to teach some classes at a conference being held in Albuquerque for 9-1-1 professionals. Weeks ago, I auditioned for a role in a play opening on April 11th, without knowing exactly when the rehearsals would be. Now, I'm doub...

Austin - Wednesday Aug 8th

After a power outage last night, here is another delayed post: I woke up the next morning at 4:30 am, my head splitting. Although I did not get drunk at any point the day before, I had been drinking throughout the day, and apparently it was enou...

Austin - NPS Monday

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 19:13:56 -0600

Monday, Strix and I had lunch at La Traviata. It was very tasty. We saw this mailbox after lunch. I just like it. Feed your mail to R2D2; he's hungry. After lunch, we made our way to the Hyatt on the other side of the Colorado River to registe...

In Austin, Texas

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 10:35:43 -0600

Saturday morning, we flew out from Albuquerque on ExpressJet, direct flight to Austin for the National Poetry Slam competitions. I hate flying, with the the lugging of the luggage and the stripping down at the security checkpoint. (It always ta...

I'm home. The airline lost my luggage - again - on the way home. Actually, it wasn't lost, it was just delayed, but same diff. I lost my cell phone by leaving it in my hotel room at the Westin Charlotte, and oddly enough the housekeeping staff...

This Sucks

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 23:26:28 -0600

Here's a recap of my day. My flight out of Albuquerque was an hour late to board, then we sat in the plane for over an hour while the plane fueled and while, according to the captain, "they waited on paperwork." I couldn't help wondering if this ...

Delayed!

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 12:52:48 -0600

I'm at the Albuquerque airport, just waiting. My flight was supposed to leave at 1:40, but it's been pushed back to 2:15. That did give me time to grab some lunch, but it means I'm going to miss my connector. Instead of arriving in Charlotte at 9:...
