			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomorrow I have to be at LAX around 10AM for a flight that leaves at 11:50AM. Then I get into the Dallas airport around 5PM and have a three hour layover. THEN I get into Columbus, OH at 11:25PM. Taking into account the three hour difference between Pacific and Eastern time, that&#8217;s roughly a nine hour day of travel.</p>
<p>And I don&#8217;t really mind.</p>
<p>Travel, especially airplane travel, used to bug me. It bugs a lot of people. I hated flying for a while. Nothing debilitating, but I wasn&#8217;t a fan of being in the air. And the whole airport thing of tickets and waiting bugged me.</p>
<p>But lately, well, less things bug me, this included. I am not a fan of layovers, but, honestly, airports have restaurants, bars, and bookstores. What do I like to do? Eat, drink, and read. What else? Mess around on my computer&#8230; and I have a laptop.</p>
<p>Travel ain&#8217;t no thing! I&#8217;m looking forward to catching some zzz&#8217;s on the plane, as I&#8217;ve liked sleeping in the moving cars since I was a baby (so, yeah, when not driving), and this is just being a passenger in a big ass flying car. And I have a great book I&#8217;m reading (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Blink-Power-Thinking-Without/dp/0316010669/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1261542262&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank"><em>Blink</em></a> &#8211; check it out and learn lessons about &#8220;thinking without thinking&#8221;)&#8230; a fun comic I want to check out (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bizarro-Comics-Various/dp/1563899582/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1261542297&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank"><em>Bizarro Comics</em></a> &#8211; dig it, and, yeah, I&#8217;m behind on this one), and&#8230; what the heck? How is this any worse than hanging out in my room in LA by myself? At least I&#8217;ll be surrounded by people, maybe chit chat, AND at the end of it all, I&#8217;ll see my family.</p>
<p>Travel ain&#8217;t no thing, and when the destination is home, it&#8217;s more than worth it.</p>
