1930 Last night: sitting around eating dinner when all of a sudden... my cell phone rings. A glance at the caller ID shows a number from an area code I didn't immediately recognize. This means I answer the phone with my "This is David" response, instead of "Hello" for a number I recognize. I figure, if I know the person calling, I can assume they know me and telling them who they are talking to isn't necessary. It turns out, it's Chris. His flight was cancelled and he's stuck in Phoenix with two options... be bored all night in a Hotel or spend the evening hanging out with Al & I. So he called to see if we were around, etc.

2000 Last night: Another call from Chris, confirming tha the is in fact stuck here after waiting to check about other means of transportation home. His return flight is at 7:30 the next morning. I tell him no prob, if he wants to hang out and sleep here I can get up and take him back.

2030 Last night: Pickup Chris from north side of Terminal 4. Proceed back to Al's house. Conversation begins. Arrive back at Al's house. Discuss things only Computer Scientists are allowed to discuss. Ranging from Linux distributions, cool software like Myth TV, things going on at Boeing and UCSB, cars, cell phones, etc...

0100 This morning: Finally make it to bed.

0530 This morning: Wake up, get dressed, etc.

0545 This morning: Leave for airport. Drop Chris off, etc... return home.

0625 This morning: Back to bed.
