Bad weather kept us from leaving Newark Airport for quite a while yesterday, so our first day of vacation was spent largely doing crossword puzzles, reading (thought I’d read Huck Finn again), listening to our iPods, and doing more crossword puzzles. We got in around 9pm local time (midnight by my standards, after getting to Newark 12 hours earlier).
Our suitcase was the last one to show up in baggage claim, prompting a 25-minute wait by the carousel. Then my buddy Ian (whose One True keeps a blog) picked us up and got us to our fantastic-ish hotel. The three of us met up with my buddy Tom, who’s in town for the Comic-Con. I knocked down 3 G&Ts in pretty short order, and then got back to the hotel and thought, “All told, it’s not a bad start to a vacation.”
On to the Con!
