This is letting you all know that I am going to be in sunny California from March 17th to March 22nd. On the 22nd I am going all the way across the country to Boston, and then returning to Chicago on the 25th. And then I'm going back to California on the 29th for a wedding, and coming back to Chicago on April 2nd. So I've got a couple of of 2 hour-ish plane trips coming up.

So here's to a really relaxing break that will let me catch up on all the sleep I lost last week, to sun, and to eating something other than omelettes.

Look forward to a post ranting about O'Hare inefficiency.
