I didn't mean to get that drunk last night. It just kind of happened. I think it was the come down from a long day of travel on a holiday. I hadn't eaten all day and the first couple of drinks went right down. I am in PA right now. This time I warned friends first so they don't text me and expect an answer right away. I warned them I am three hours ahead this week.

Got to the airport around 4:30, boarded at 5:30, fell asleep until almost Chicago. I managed to sleep pretty much the entire flight which was nice. I was in an exit row and stretched out. Had about 90 minutes until my next flight. Hung out in the club charging devices and started to watch Cars.

I am watching it because of the conversation I had a few weeks ago with my friend about it. I managed to get 45 minutes into it and meh. My initial feelings stand. It's too redneck for me. It's a NASCAR movie and I don't like NASCAR. Plus the majority of the actors doing the voices I do not like. I think that has a lot to do with it too. Plus the notion of cars being alive like they are doesn't work for me. But I tried.

Got to PA, got my car (a 2013 Ford Explorer with less than 100 miles on it), and found the hotel. I was a little confused about where the client is located though. I had to drive around a bit. See they have a main campus in one part of town. When I put in their name and address into google, it takes me to the main location. When I just put in the address, I go to the other side of town. I had to clarify that with the client. Luckily he was checking email last night.

When I got back from finding the client, I hit the restaurant next to the hotel. Nothing fancy. A Ruby Tuesday which I haven't been to in years. I don't even know if any exist in my part of the world anymore. Think Friday's, Bennigans, etc. I sat at the bar and had a burger. I ended up in this long discussion with a truck driver as he was getting drunk at the same pace as me. Really nice black guy fram Arkansas. I only mention he was black because him and I were discussing socio/racial/economic things and it was interesting for both of us to hear the side of a spoiled white kid from CA as compared to a baptist black kid from the south. We totally enjoyed each other's company and parted ways around 8.

Got back to the hotel and sent some drunken texts and fb messages. No damage done outside the norm. Passed out around 10:30. I am paying for it a little bit today, but I still have an hour before I have to leave and I think I will be fine by then. Time to put on the smiley face...
