Day: September 17, 2006

When will I learn to stop saying things like “it looks like clear sailing”? My flight has been delayed two hours to Chicago, which makes me nervous about my connection to Salt Lake City. The good news is that everything in and out of Chicago is delayed, so I might actually make it. The bad news is that I probably won’t get there until well past midnight, and I have an early morning phone call the next day. And let’s not even think about luggage…

Traveling on the day before my wife’s birthday sucks.

Fortunately that’s the suckiest thing about this flight so far. I got here in plenty of time, have a seat (albeit a middle) to Chicago, and it looks like it’ll be clear sailing to the ITSMf meeting in Salt Lake City.

The last time I was in Salt Lake City, aside from connecting through the airport, was some eight years ago when I stayed there while doing some consulting in Ogden. I recall that they had some pretty good local microbrews, in spite of the Byzantine local liquor laws. But I can’t find any of them using BeerAdvocate, so I’ll have to hang loose and hope for the best.
