Confusion

27 years ago
I had to memorize zip codes
It was easier back then to remember things

Now I have to know airport codes
AVP =
IAD =Washington Dulles
DCA = Washington Reagan
IAH=Houston Bush
HOU= Houston Hobby
SAT= San antonio
SAN=San diego
LGA=New York LaGuardia
JFK= New York Kennedy
ORD= Chicago O'Hare
MDW=Chicago Midway

Anyway
I spend so much time in hotesl
I forget where I am or where I am goin
Sometimes I forget the room number
So, it helps to convert the room # to a zip code
Fri in atlanta, I was in fla
Last nite in nyc, I was in chicago
Tonite in chicago, I am in louisville

Helps to remember the room #
Then I don't have to go to the desk when the hallway doesn't look familiar

Anyways
Gotta crash
Maybe the brain would work IF I got more sleep

Better to be the scarecrow, than the tin man

had a blast

hangin' out with tiff
almost got her convinced she should fly to NYC @ the end of may
she can hang @ the hotel while i work
when i get there
we could yarn shop & tear up the town
not sure when i come back to chicago

RATZ, RATZ, RATZ!!!`

couldn't find the shoestring licorice to make AL
a pair of edible undies
oh well
it was fun lookin'
went to 4 or 5 stores in Chicago
anyways
it's almost tomoro in Indy
i should be sleeping
i gotta get up in 7 hours
home by 3PM
knitting with friends @ panera in greenwood tonite
will NEED sleep
making slo progress on the scarf
