in-flight entertainment

I'm back in London. Thanks to everyone for enabling my whirlwind trip, dropping everything to hang out with me, and putting up with my constant complaints about the weather. yes, it would seem that I am now one of those.
for the record, it snowed here today --for about 1 minute
The trip East was much more tolerable than its Western counterpart, thanks in part to the jet stream and the fact that I remembered to bring headphones. Watching the in-flight movie(s) shave a nice whack of bordom off the whole flying thing. My seatmate gave me gum.
John met me at the airport for a dramatic reunion that was somewhat degraded by a bum trolley wheel, a poorly executed kiss and other (stupid) passengers getting in the way of said trolley.
While I was gone, John re-arranged the apartment. It looks pretty good. Definitely wouldn't kick my apartment out of bed anymore, no sir.
It's bittersweet to be back because London is starting to make sense, but none of you are here.
