I’m Coming Home

Charles de Gaul Airport, Paris
Waiting at CDG in Paris waiting for a flight that will take me to Houston and then to Portland. My innate desire to always be on time got me to the airport two and a half hours early which turned out to be a good thing because getting to the right terminal, the line to check in, the security line and the walk to the gate took up over an hour. My plane is set to board in fifteen minutes after which I get to play sardines for some 18 hours. My arrival in Portland is set for 8pm tonight but that will really be about 4AM the next day for me. I then sleep as much as I can and it is off to work the next morning. I am ready to sleep in my own bed but have no desire to go back to work in the morning. Alas, such is the life of a wage slave.
