City of Angels (Anaheim)

Was a tough day. Had to wake up at 4.30. Fly to Anaheim, California. Worked for 8 hours after that and then Frank treated us to a 14 ounce steak and beer at Outback Steakhouse.

I miss pinky a lot nowadays. Today especially. Won't be able to meet her this weekend.

Have flown a lot recently and nowadays I don't make a big deal about air turbulence. I have become used to sitting in a metallic tube several thousand feet above the ground wobbling like jelly. I was seated between people with such a stark difference in personality. The Old Man on My Right(henceforth OMMR) was extremely fidgity and restless and the Lady on My Left (henceforth LML) wanted to nothing more than sleep. The OMMR would open his ibook, play a movie for five minutes, then shut it down, watch the movie being played on the flight TV screen, laugh loudly... then ask the waitress to get him some coke and then this whole cycle would repeat. On the other hand the LML fell asleep as soon as she sat down. Even before the flight took off. It was only the turbulence during the last stages of our flight that managed to keep her awake. She was extremely frightened. I wanted to play on her nerves and tell her "I think I deserve to die today cause I have sinned like no other man, but I seriously hope you survive the crash". Decided against it :)

Yep today was one of the few times I was spared the SSSS security. Getting my shoes off, the security guard (usually not the most brilliant guy) going through each and every item in my baggage and telling me the most obvious things like "that is a new camera" ofcourse I know its a new camera, I bought it for christ sake.

Neway looking fwd to enjoying my 10 day stay here.
