And so it is that tomorrow I will journey through Airline Hell and hopefully come out of it unscathed in Nowhere, Oregon where my big bro and little sis are anticipating my arrival. I'm a little apprehensive I have to admit. Apart from a very enthusiastic welcome at the beginning and a tearful goodbye at the end I really don't know what to expect. But I guess I just have to know what's become of my dear fur family and so here I go to see for myself.

In other news it's starting to look very much like I have a sleeping problem of some sort. I mean that in the sense that I've almost always snored, but in recent months things have gotten worse. At least the doctor acted like I'm a case he's seen hundreds of times before, so there's some comfort in that.

But that is a matter that I will have to deal with when I get back. For now I have a long road, or flight path, ahead of me...
