I'm home, just had to pick up some friends, on very short notice, last night. First they were coming down then they weren't... then they were and then... well you can see there this is going. They came down but the flight got delayed. Was due in at 8, got here at 1am.

They're at their house and I'm at mine, all is back to normal whatever that is.

I have no idea how my answer to the WITW thread ended up here, lack of sleep?

We will leave you your small joys and smaller troubles."
