Hey all, after an initial scary moment at the airport I made it to my hotel without issue. It is absolutely gorgeous down here. Of course, LAX had to be a freakin madhouse at midnight for some reason, crawling inch by inch into departures, so I had to run into the airport from Sepulveda. Then the lady at check in woudn´t issue my ticket because I don´t have a print out of my return flight on a different airline. Thank god for the iPhone, I showed her my confirmation on my phone and got my boarding pass. Then got harrassed because I ¨smelled of booze¨. Ya, no kidding, I was just at a bar and had to run a 1/2 mile into the freakin airport. Yes, the booze is gonna come out a bit. No law against boozing before a flight. SOBs! Don´t they know who I am?! Thankfully I had a spare seat in between me and the other guy, but I still slept for crap. However, I think I got enough to make a good showing tonight. Haven´t determined where I´m going, but I have some good options fairly close to my hotel. Anyway, time to get outside and go for a run and enjoy this weather. Sorry I won´t be spending NYE with any of you, but you all will certainly be in my thoughts. Take care. Happy 2012!
