Baltimore Bound

Or I guess more accurately "Baltimore Here" as I arrived yesterday night after a long day of travel. I came through Dallas/Fort Worth and had no trouble transferring. That is a lovely airport. Plenty of elbow room in five huge terminals connected by an elevated tram. All quite effortless to navigate too. American Airlines, my carrier, told us where all the connections were as we taxied to the gate and where the nearest entrance to the tram was located. The train was there as I came up and took me right to my destination, because I was lucky and the access there was close to my gate. I had a parfait and an egg roll for lunch (a yummier combination than you would expect) and took the flight out right after. That flight left almost 20 minutes late but got in on time because, as the captain explained, he "flew really fast." Oh, and he mentioned something about a huge tail wind.

I'm staying here with my friends Elisa and Eric. The wife half of the couple is my college rommate, though I met the husband half years before he was the husband. They are both so cool and have a beautiful home, with lots of color of the walls and white trim and crown moldings. For those of you who know the area they are in Catonsville, a suburb of Baltimore. The yellow bushes of forsythia in the backyard are running riot, and the tulips are coming up too.

I'm here for the wedding of Timo, my high school friend, to his fiance Judy. That's tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. It is at the museum of industry which should be interesting. I'm told they have a lovely spot overlooking the water or something. Should be nice.
