Greetings from Huntsville
Greetings from Huntsville, AL, the land of rockets and lost baggage! Yes, really … Delta lost my bag for the second consecutive time. As I sit here, it’s 9:33pm and I’ve been given a delivery window of “8:30pm - 8:30am April 7″. Thank goodness I carry a tiny bottle of saline with me so I [...]
