On a Jet Plane

I’m at the airport getting ready to board a plane to California, which means I’ll be out of the office today, and Logan is in charge. She promised me that she won’t be throwing a kegger while I’m away, but you know what, it’s Friday — go ahead and have one!

Here is my “going to the airport and flying across the country” spending:

• $7.50: Cost of getting to the airport ($2.50 for the subway ride, and $5 for the AirTran to JFK)

• $2.40: Cup of coffee from illy Coffee

• $12 for a sandwich and a snack on the plane

It’s a short list! I have the new issue of Wired, which I got in the mail yesterday, and I’m planning on finishing Cheryl Strayed’s memoir. Maybe I’ll ask the person sitting next to me to be my friend — who knows? I’ll “see” you guys on Monday (in a new time zone)!
