Flying away

Made my ticket to Israel yesterday. Yes, I did end up buying a few thousand airmiles, and I'll be squished onto an ElAl flight, but at least it's a direct flight, so I suppose that counts for something. I'd much rather fly British or Swiss (they're usually cheaper, and less squashed), but at least now I'll be able to pretend to be patriotic. Although, I'm not paying for the ticket... oh well. Anyone know whether ElAl has individual screens for their seats?

This also means that I'll be missing a fundraiser that I'm helping out with (although my role is fairly minimal). All I can say is that I'd better hear that y'all went to Casino night on Feb. 21. More details to come later. And then there's the hockey game I was going to go to with an old friend from college. I'll be missing that as well. No hockey games for me this season.

All this because I'm going to my best friend's wedding (and no, that's not the movie). So M, you'd better make sure your wedding is fun! I'm very excited and looking forward...
