And he's writing all the words

My last day visiting bunny_hugger would need to be a short one. I was flying out later than usual, but from Detroit rather than Lansing, so we'd lose time to commuting. We came out ahead, and I'd get back to my parents' home sooner than otherwise, which might be a good thing. Friends warned me there were all sorts of weather delays and snow out East. The snow reports were pure bunk, as all snow this year (after Halloween) has been.

( It wasn't enough time together, but we won't have enough time together until late spring.  )

The Detroit airport's advertising banners around the TV screens continue to claim there's a Borders in one of the terminals. I find the dated claim a bit charming to have around yet.
