I had a long line and a 3 hour delay. (Not bad!) Beyond everything being behind schedule, things seem to be operating pretty normally.

Don't know if it's deserved or not but a company called CrowdStrike has been receiving some less than ideal publicity from this.

Swear to God, this guy is watching a 70s Meatloaf concert and singing along to every word. Not loudly. But like at the volume level of a quiet conversation.

Last night I was serenaded on the train from nyc to Philly by some drunk lawyer who did proud to be an American" the national anthem and then a few bars of cotton eyed Joe before making out with his boss.

Supposed to connect through Dallas tomorrow morning. Prepping the family to just drive to Dallas. I don’t think I’m going to need to, but I need them ready.

Made it out of Lisbon and Frankfort with minimal delay this morning. Just landed in Newark and our last flight home is delayed 2 hours so far. Feel lucky to make it this far with a goddamn global computer outage so now I’m just hoping we get home tonight. I mean is anyone really surprised I was flying today?

They have also just basically said your flight is cancelled figure it out. Like, no options whatsoever other than waiting in giant lines to talk to someone.

Or hope that it onsets again the day of your return home and you’ll just have to go back to the lake for a day or two and drink another 20,000 beers.

Uhg, been up for 25 hours and currently on my way to a Wyndham in NJ. It’s a crap show but Mrs SF won the customer service lottery and reached them online and got us rebooked (for rough ridin' Sunday night) but also hotel vouchers. Going to do that and maybe try and get something better.

I’m really sorry about this everyone.

If my PV trip tomorrow gets messed up I’m blaming you.
