So here we go - I'm currently sitting in the Atlanta airport, en route to Rochester from Vienna. This is the segment of the season that alternates between Europe and the Deep South -- Atlanta GA, Germany, Austria, then Charlotte NC. Two North American Cups, two World Cups, all in five weeks.
T-minus three days. In that three days, I need to:
- Make my entire life fit (with the exceptions of cat, bike and fencing bag) into my Pontiac Vibe.
- Do a week's worth of work, and figure out a future of contract work with my employer.
- Attend two going-away parties, one of which is 2.5 hours away.
No sweat. And if that gets accomplished, I'll roadtrip back from Hamilton Ontario at 4am on Thursday, hop a plane to Charlotte, coach at the Junior Olympics. My plane arrives back in Rochester at 5pm on Tuesday. If I'm back in a timely fashion, all my worldly possessions go into the back of the car, and I'm off!
The timetable looks something like this:
- Drive until I can drive no longer; hopefully this means I get to Indianapolis on Wednesday morning.
- Spend Wed/Thu/Fri with parents and Indy friends.
- Leave Sat morning (early). Make it to Lawrence, KS by evening.
- Leave Sun morning (early). Make it to Denver, CO by evening.
- Get K from the Denver airport.
- Drive to Portland!
As previously mentioned - no sweat!
I suspect this segment of life will be heavily powered by Brawndo, and thank the intelligent designer that my caffeine tolerance should be way down at this point. The over-under on all-nighters this week is 2, but I can't see Vegas being willing to play -- after that "Super Bowl" debacle, I suspect the house's appetite for risk has to be way down.
