Off to Tucson.


Tomorrow afternoon I’m flying to Tucson, the Brett Favre of American cities, to attend ADASS 2006. This will give me a good chance to see Alasdair again, amongst others.

With luck my co-worker Sam will be able to join me, having already missed his flight. This is what he gets for making fun of my early departure time from Tucson back to Hilo — 6:15am. :-)

    Share a cab to the airport then? I’ve got a 6am departure from Tucson on the way back home…

    Yes, that’d be perfect! I imagine we have to get to the airport at some ungodly time like 4 or 4:30…

    How is Tuscon the Brett Favre of American cities, Brad?

    GFM <– walking into the trap.

    Because you pronounce their names backwards to how they’re written. Tucson should be “tuk-son” and Favre should be “fav-re”.

    Since my email won’t go through … Brad, have you heard from Alice?

    I’m alive but he called work before he checked on his wife. Classy huh?

    Busted!

    Glad you’re okay, Alice.

    I phoned home first but the lines were busy. :P

    If I’m not blaming Friday 13th for missing my flight, I’m certainly not blaming the schadenfreude.
