I checked out, had breakfast with some never-before-met-face-to-face online friends at the Hilton, caught my shuttle to the Minneapolis airport, and hung out reading at my gate until John Aronno of Alaska Commons turned up & we shared experiences until it came time to board. We briefly saw each other — along with another Netroots Alaskan who, I’m sorry, I’m so tired I already forgot your name — at SeaTac, but had different flights out of there. So mostly I had a meal, drank merlot, read (finished Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin), messed around on Twitter, & got through my four-hour layover. And then my three-hour flight home….
Good to be back.
