Guys,
Getting there is half the fun--not.
We had a long, uncomfortable and uneventful flight from Helsinki to New
York. It got ugly in the Big Apple. Leila had a boarding pass but we
had to stand in line in a very hot and packed Delta terminal to obtain
my boarding pass. We had only an hour to make the flight to Pittsburgh
and spent thirty minutes of it a) at an electronic kiosk and b) in the
endless line before getting the attention of a kind soul who led us to
the head of the line and routed us to the gate. They'd already closed
it and had the aircraft door closed. We made the flight and I managed
to keep my eyeballs open for the two hour ride back to the house.
I hit the bed immediately and got six or so hours of sleep and imagine
that I'll be spending part of this afternoon back in the sack. OH7XM
gave me an interesting telephone. It's a "Dualphone USB" which attaches
to both a computer via USB cable and to a phone line. The phone is
cordless and may be used to make and answer both Skype and regular
telephone calls. I'll set it up when I'm a bit more alert.
73,
