I'm back in Dallas after a whirlwind week in San Francisco. I used upgrade coupons to get into first class on the way home, which turned out to be a bit of a waste. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol and I had eaten lunch a short while before the flight left, so the free booze and actual meal weren't appealing and I did not partake. But, the seat was wider and softer than I'm used to, so it wasn't all for naught. But I have to say the lack of thigh support in those large leather seats is an issue.
After an uneventful flight, my wife and I waited for quite a while for my luggage. The main piece came down the luggage conveyor shortly after luggage delivery began, but my other bag did not. After all other bags had been picked up and no one else was left, I reported my lost bag to a tired and annoyed baggage claims employee, who took my information and said I could expect to receive my luggage by noon Sunday. My wife happened to be awake when the phone rang at 4:18 am this morning. It was the baggage delivery guy, calling to say he was outside the front door. My wife took in my bag and kindly did not awake me. She said the guy apologized, but said he was required to deliver lost bags around the clock.
Today I spent my time unpacking, throwing clothes into the hamper, and unwrapping and setting up my new iPod and iPod Home device, both early birthday and Christmas gifts from my sister-in-law. So, I now have an iPod which can actually play movies...and everyone in the house can listen to my iPod music over speakers.
It will take some time to readjust and get back to writing...after which time I will tell the story of a former employee who quit last Monday morning, via email, at just shy of 5:00 AM.

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you got some very cool birthday loot. I hope the quitting employee was also a gift and not a curse.
