Taking off

Up early, freak out about the time, shower, scan for the things I'll
necessarily forget, freak out again (for good measure), go to the gas
station, turn in the car, tram to ticketing, scrum to drop off bags,
herd our way to the gate, get the FIRST cup of coffee o the morning,
hit the Qdoba because you can count on airplane food to be as
nutritous and delicious as eating the seat cushions, waggle our way to
the gate, sit, exhale.
