A quick announcement: in case anyone needs me at 4 AM tomorrow, I'll be at the airport. This is a distinct departure from my usual 4 AM spots: my bed, the bathroom, or the flower bed of the neighbors' yard (I'm a sleep gardener). And then if anyone needs me for the next several hours after that, I'll be wedged in the corner of a plane, praying that the person next to me stops calling me Sugar and talking about her all-raisin diet. And then if anyone needs me when I land, I'll be crying in the backseat of a cab while a man from Cameroon berates me for not knowing the difference between Brooklyn and the Bronx. And then if anyone needs me after I get out of the cab, I'll be in New York City, kicking it at the Hobo Dungeon. Woooo!
I am excited about the trip. Part of this is because there's a lot to do in New York, and the other half is because I know that the Austin airport has a Cinnabon inside of it. A $5 cinnamon roll isn't such a good deal, but it's probably a steal where I'm headed. I intend to load up. Bag of peanuts on the plane? No thank you, I happened to pack 85,000 calories into my carry-on. Hot dog vendor in the city? I would normally, but I've got a pastry back at the Hobo Dungeon that's just waiting to be dug out of my underwear. (That's the single worst sentence ever written here.)
I'd like to elaborate further on that ingenius idea, but a certain basketball team is playing in a certain NBA Finals right abouts now. When I return, I will be a battle hardened, street savvy SOB. I will not, however, like falafel. I just don't get that stuff.

Go Mavs! and Go Beligain beer!
