My sister is returning to TPA from Maine today. The flight into LGA ran on time, but the TPA flight is delayed 50 minutes. The plane is at the gate, so I guess it's weather, crew, ATC, or a mechanical.
Hopefully it will be resolved and she will be home this evening.
Then I am on my way to LAX on the 10th....

I started the day with a nice group bike ride, and we just returned from the international street food festival in our town. We shared lumpia, poutine, and a burrito. All in all, it was a pretty good SATurDAY.

GW was thinking about a neighborhood French restaurant for dinner this evening. Pigeon was out since they won't serve it, so he went to the zoo to check out the menu possibilities. I believe that he's decided on la viande de cheval.

Happy Sunday everyone! I made chocolate-peanut butter cookies and brown sugar bacon twists to bring to a BBQ today. It's pretty cloudy right now but it should clear up by noon.

Traffic on Friday was much lighter than we expected. I don.t think you'll hit much traffic noonish but if the LIE is a parking lot you might tuck this in the back of your mind - GCP/NS - Wantagh or 109 - SO or Sunrise.

A horse is a horse,
Of course, of course,
Except when the horse
Is the mealtime course.

Today was a very interesting day. Client moved our standing 11:30a status meeting to 9:00a in order to get us out before the Colorado Avalanche Stan;ey Cup Parade. After the parade, we decided to hang out at the hotel and, when I got a poor weather alert from United we all decided to try and get out of town early. My 2 coworkers paid the $75 to confirm seats on the earlier American flight while I decided to roll the dice vs. paying $150 to confirm myself on the earlier United flight.
Fortunately I was #1 on the upgrade list and made it to DEN just as group 1 was boarding. Plane was full but managed to clear into a middle bulkhead in Y. Was happy to get home early!
A few pics from the parade

Happy SunDAY from King’s Island. DMs get front line privileges on the Diamondback coaster. Didn’t include me since I’m a lowly PM.
Nice day here and shockingly not too crowded, at least yet.

I presume donkey would be similar to horse. I had a horse burger at Hot Horse during the Ljubljana DO in 2006, ordered with all the usual fixings, basically = a Big Mac. It tasted fine, couldn't really tell any difference from beef. But I kept thinking about what I was eating, barely managing to get down & keep it down.
