Jiggity, as they say, jig

For a trip involving no significant weather or airline foo ("significant") there was a full share of petty annoyances. The flight ended up being delayed out of Denver after all because the flight crew hadn't made it there yet. Where was the flight crew coming from? Detroit: the stopover point on cryptocosm's flight. Guess who else had minor (but annoying) delays due to lines at de-icing? In the end, the youngest brother and I got into Oakland an hour after scheduled (i.e., we were at baggage claim in Oakland right when cryptocosm was due to be arriving in SFO and expecting me to pick him up -- fortunately, he was delayed). The brothers each had one bag disappeared on them somewhere in transit. This, of course, meant that we had to wait until all the bags were out before filling out paperwork in Oakland, so our pickup circled the airport parking an uncounted number of times. Then there was the four-car pile up that screwed up traffic on the way back to my place. And, when cryptocosm finally got back to my place and loaded up the truck, it turned out he needed a jump to get it started. But they're all gone now. And it's only ... eeek! Must change the clock on the laptop back from Eastern Time. If I truly believed that it was 3:25 am, then I'd have to conclude that I've been semi-awake for 22 hours solid, and that would be very depressing. And so to bed.

I am becoming so aware that flying is not something I ever want to do again! I hope you recover quickly from your trip.
