to catch a plane home....


and here I am surfing the internet in my hotel room.... trying to fight the urge to put my shoes on and drive to Sonic for a large Banana malt.

Does that make me a bad person?

Go for it Spud! Sleeping is over rated. You'll wake up just as tired as when you went to bed anyway. You could get get in another 8 hour shift worth of pay

I gave in and drove to the nearest Sonic. However they were closed up tight. I have never seen a Sonic that closed before midnight. I waited too long..... dammit. :annoyed:

So..... I went to an all-night Burger King and got a large vanilla shake instead. Not the same thing.... I guess I should not have watched that History Channel documentary on Ice Cream tonight... that did me in. :annoyed:

DAMMIT SPUD YOU'RE HORRIBLE YOU SUCK!!!! NOT!!!

Sometimes you just have to give in to the late night craves. Heck, Taco Bell is making a fortune on "Fourthmeal"!

I forgot this post..... I was out of it. I woke up that morning at 3:22 am. Showered and was out the door of the hotel before 3:45 am. Made the hour and 15 min drive to the New Orleans Airport in good time. Got scared once when there was an accident up ahead. It was weird.... it looked like there was miles of traffic backed up, but it was only a couple of semi's blocking traffic so that the two cars that smashed into eachother would not get creamed by oncoming traffic. I made it to my 6 am flight in plenty of time. With me I had two iced coffees from Burger King that I got when I got the shake. I put them in the fridge and they were good to go when I was. I was totally fine on 2 hours of sleep. I kinda like driving late/early too. Call me crazy....


BTW I was travelling this week down in TX. More late-night runs there too. That is another story....
