Today was entirely over-taxing. Awake by 4:30, on the plane by 6:30.

I arrived in Charlotte 15 minutes before my connecting flight left. I had to cross the entire Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 15 minutes. I ran. Ow. I just barely made it. The woman at the counter saw me coming and yelled (from half-way across the terminal) if I was on the Seattle flight and what my last name was.

But the people I sat next to were pleasant. My heart rate was 120 bpm from 8 am (when I got on the plane) to noon. I checked it 7 times, it never went down. I really need to see a cardiologist.

In-flight movie was Hitch. It brought out the romantic in me, but I felt some parts were a bit over-done.

It's good to be here. I think this is a great break from....school, my family over there. I haven't spoken to Kathleen for a while.
