Getting into an airplane cabin in a matter of hours and going south. And any place south is close to home. I'm taking the desert with me since we happen to be in one now, which is easier done when the sun is out. I think the sun will be out. As will I. Georgia Georgia.

I'm taking running shoes.

I hope I see you when I get there.

I'm across the street at the Marriott, remember?
