Tomorrow, I will wake up around 6 AM in Toledo, Ohio. Less than twelve hours after waking up, I will be 1,268 miles south, in Jupiter, Florida. I'm sorry, but I still find it pretty miraculous this can be achieved.

It could have been achieved even faster if I could have gotten a direct flight, but then again, for $59, who can complain?

I got my $59 flight with Independence Air. I am also booked with Independence Air for my Christmastime trip to New York, which created some concern today when I received a message that Independence Air has stopped flying from Cleveland and to JFK airport. This was especially alarming because I am supposed to fly from Cleveland and to JFK.

Well, called them and, not to worry, they can fly me from Detroit and to LaGuardia airport. (New York has, I believe, three airports.) So, we're set!

Another miraculous thing. I am going to see my grandfather. Four years ago, I went to see this same grandfather in Florida because I wanted to spend some quality time with him, because all the doctors said he had two months left.

He showed them. They can't find his cancer anywhere.

Reading Big Trouble right now, by J. Anthony Lukas. Really good. But for some reason, I'm never on some thin little paperback when I take a plane ride.

In response to the question from a commenter: No, Ohio does not release their results early. Calm down. The day draws ever nearer.

I assume I'll have some access to the Internet, but what it will be I know not. So, I'll talk to you from the South! :)
