I am still suffering from a head cold. I had poor sleep as my sinuses are preventing me from breathing normally. I am dreadfully tired and I actually look forward to the chance to sleep on the flight home. At the moment I sleep better sitting than lying in bed. Oddly, I have better wireless access in the airport than I had at the hotel. This will let me catch up on work emails while I am waiting for the plane – except I cannot get a secure connection to the office. So I will read the news instead.

TSA was its normal theatrical self. Basically there is a Starbucks on both sides of the TSA checkpoint. I can get a bagel and coffee at both, but I can only take the bagel through the TSA theatrical inspection point. Oh, I appreciate the security provided by the TSA, but I do not feel it is any more useful than the inspection methods provided before 9/11. But that is another topic. I wonder how the TSA would feel about me writing this as I wait to board a plane.
