Originally planned on going for a run but decided to take the day off instead (<>). Then I showered and shaved before heading to a breakfast place to meet Ben and Abigail. Talked about situation with Mom mostly, some about him and his kids. Was a good, casual conversation, no drama. Drove back to Kathy's house and hung out until it was time to go to the airport. We stopped for sandwiches at Schlotzsky's and then drove to the airport, no problems there or dropping off the rental car. Got to the airport and cruised through security and to the gate. Plane left on time, I was lucky enough to swap a middle seat for an aisle seat closer to the front of the plane. Finished watching Becoming Led Zeppelin, then watched MI-1 again, it was anachronistic, but it helped to pass the time. Plane landed early, but we sat 9n the ground for a while waiting for our gate to clear. Not too long a wait before the SDAP shuttle showed up. We ran into some traffic getting on I-8, then it was fairly smooth sailing all the way home, helped by the HOV lane. I talked to Ross after I got home, nothing major going on, just a general status check. Watched some TV and headed off to bed.
