Dodged a Bullet

madbakerI flew down to Orange County for a quarterly meeting of investment people; we were giving a presentation. It went well, we got good feedback, it's a good group.
However, the problem was the return flight. We were scheduled to leave John Wayne at 4:30. The plane was there, the crew was present, it was actually sunny.
But apparently all but three flights out of Orange County were cancelled due to weather. Ours got pushed back, pushed back, pushed back... but we eventually took off 90 minutes late. The flight was uneventful, not even bumpy.

bonacorsi had dinner ready. I had a paper due Thursday night that I was finishing Wednesday and thought about not powering through to submit - after all, I was due to get home around 6 PM, plenty of time to write the last half page! Fortunately I made myself finish it. I could easily have been stranded in the OC with no laptop.
