On layover (abbreviated because of lateless out of San Jose) in Dallas,
waiting for my flight to OKC to board. It's Christmas, so it must be Oklahoma.
It's funny to be back so soon, since I was here in October for OU's
homecoming. Of course, I haven't been writing much these last few months,
mostly because it turns out I've been sick for quite a long time and just
ignoring it. Finally broke down and went to the Dr. this past Monday, and was
given (in addition to a stern talking-to over taking care of myself) a course
of antibiotics in the form of pills. Pills, I might add, that are almost the
size of the last digit of one of my fingers. Horses would have trouble with
these, and for the first few days I had a nasty sore throat. But as always,
these things, they pass.
I'll be back in the habit of regular writing now, especially on my
vacation. However, this time around I'm not wasting any money on the
over-priced wireless access at the airports. With whole cities now blanketing
their streets with free WiFi, it's just that much more obvious what a rip-off
this "Wayport" access is. My university has campus-wide WiFi (well, for some
generous definitions of "campus-wide", but I know where the strong spots are),
my old fraternity has house-wide in their new digs. Oklahoma, or at least
parts of it, are teetering dangerously on the brink of the 21st century. Well,
the elections notwithstanding. But more on that in a later entry. Plus
ça change, and all that, I suppose.
Ahh... the cattle call is going out...
