Airports at EWR and ORD were quiet and calm this morning. Flights are on time and mostly full but a few empties on the ORD-STL segment. Overall, just another travel day. Hardly chaotic at all. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about that.

I know what you mean about the happy or sad part. Until Thanksgiving 2003, NYC had a big reduction of crowds after 9-11 which made it great to get around but it felt wrong.

C3 checkpoint was closed and the lines were long at C2

In the spirit of the box and thanksgiving

My Thanksgiving started off with my own personal wine tasting at 9am. I was anxious to taste what I purchased yesterday. :D

Happy Birthday baglady! 3 more days for me...

I am still sipping my Kona coffee, but vino sounds darn good right now. I need to clear up my Great Lakes Brewing Company Xmas Ale fog from last evening. :)

Happy B-Day Baglady!

I could have gone for some Kona coffee this morning but Starbucks had to do the job instead.

In the vino world, we will be sampling all of the "turkey wines" today - a Pinot Noir, a Zinfandel and a very nice German Riesling. I accidentally grabbed the wrong vintage on the Riesling and ended up paying double what I was expecting - oops! It was well worth the price though...

Nope - I always stick to a Kabinett. While I have had some decent Spatlese, most are usually much too sweet for me.
