Much Ado About Nothing

Today was one of those days that, while productive, are not really terribly exciting to write about.

I did my 2007 taxes and mailed them off to the States. I started writing my talk for this weekend. I did a bucketload of bicycle maintenance, from replacing punctured tubes to adjusting the brakes and other assorted whatnot. I rang bells at Mary Mag.

Like I said: Nothing particularly exciting to write (or read) about. Except for one little get well gift that I arranged to be sent by surprise to a certain lovely person on the other side of the pond. That was sneaky and fun and, judging by the e-mail I received tonight, successful!

Other than that, I think I got a fair bit done today but, as days go, it will not be particularly memorable. In any case, it is off to bed with me now... as tomorrow promises to shape up a lot like today did. In particular, there is still much communing with PowerPoint that needs to happen before the weekend...

What Is The "Head" Of An Airline? And Is There Some Way To Put It On A Pike?

YES! I have just learned that the US airline ATA has gone bankrupt (for the second time in about three years), cancelled all of their flights, closed their Chicago Midway hub, and ceased operations.

Vindictive? Me? Nah! Okay, maybe just a little...

ETA: I just received an e-mail from resouceress, who had heard the news but has not yet read this entry. She wrote to ask if I will "be scheduling a trip to the States soon so you can dance on [ATA's] grave?" Methinks the woman knows me well...
