we forgot to check that the plane was on time when we left this morning, so we arrived an hour early for the flight to find out the flight was delayed two hours.  This is NOT an appropriate airline response if we're to get all the things on our LA to do list done!  But at least Neil and I are agreed that we're going to get our hair cut first even if it's two hours later than we wanted it to be. 

so, um, yeah... i'm waiting on a jet plane, hoping the apartment hunting is plentiful in the great spaces of LA, and we land the big game (in this case, the prize would be a 3 br, 2 ba house with a small yard for under $2000 / mo, but that's more a unicorn... requires the sacrifice of virgins to get it...)
