One of those days...

I have lots of work to do, but I don't want to do it. It's nice outside, but I don't want to go out. Maybe I should just roll back into bed, or shave my head.

People I would not want to be right now...

1. The people who have to roam the streets of Soulard to clean the mess after Mardi Gras.

2. The people on the Greyhound bus I followed off of I-44 at 2:45 a.m.

3. Anyone associated with Britney Spears.

Good night, and good luck.

Insomnia

Insomnia is forcing me to post. Apparently it's been a long time since I've posted. Welcome to 2007. I am 1 month and 15 days into the new year. Where have I been? Everywhere. I started the new year in St. Louis. The first week of January, I spent two days in Raleigh, two days in Tampa, three in Orlando, and one in Richmond, IN (where I have returned two times since the first visit.) The end of January brought me on a 1,300 mile trek across the Midwest. Richmond, Cleveland, Detroit/Ann Arbor (with a short detour to Canada), and Chicago. And finally, I just returned from a 5 day vacation in sunny Cancun, Mexico. The vacation was refreshing given that work has picked up a lot in the last month or two. I'm headed to Philadelphia at the end of the month, and I foresee more travel to Detroit and Columbus soon.

While the travel gets a bit tiring, the silver lining is that I'm running full steam ahead toward my goal of obtaining platinum status with American Airlines this year. Last year, I was only 9 segments short of the required 60. In 2007, I've banked 8 segments (52 remaining) and 19,848 miles (4,852 elite qualifying).

Well, I don't have much else to say, other than curse words for all the Red Bull I consumed last night. 3 hours of sleep should be enough to keep me going all day today, considering the Red Bull will be in my system until mid-afternoon. I must sleep tonight, as the Mardi Gras Grand Parade is less than 53 hours away. Hopefully I'll have pics from Cancun posted soon.
