Tempus fugit.

Thing Two is trying to make travel arrangements for Boss today. First, they tried to find the cheapest fare. Then they tried to find the closest airport with the cheapest fare. Then they tried to find the most appropriate arrival time at the closest airport with the cheapest fare (all in the house that Jack built). Once that was settled, they discovered that the closest hotels to the airport (or to the conference location) were already booked for those dates. Start all over again...

That reminded me of my stint in Alabama. I learned quickly the truism that, "If you live in the South and have to go anywhere, even to Hell, you have to transfer in Atlanta." Okay, putting aside all comments about how living in Alabama was living in Hell... Ahem.

There was one fun thing about flying from Atlanta, GA to Montgomery, AL. When you combine the change in time zones (Eastern to Central) and the flight time of less than one hour, you would land three minutes before you took off!
