I had to rush a bit in my trip from Urbana Champaign to Detroit Metro Airport today. Originally, I had planned to leave at 10:00 (Eastern) to make my flight at 7:22 (Eastern) in Detroit about 360 miles away. I figured six hours on the road making cell-phone meetings plus lunch on the road, followed by an hour in the Worldclub catching up on E-Mail would be a good way to spend the day and get to Washington, DC in the evening.
\nWell, lots of little discussions started up and when I realized what time it was, it was 12:40 Eastern and I had not left yet. Yikes! There goes lunch and the Worldclub. I had to hightail it – I made good time until I hit Chicago where at the junction between I-80 and I-294 the traffic Stopped for about 40 minutes. There was an accident at the junction of I-294\/I-94 and I-80\/90 (this is pretty much the most congested intersection on the planet). I was frustrated watching all of the spare time I had slipping away while I was not moving.
\nOnce I was moving again I had to step up the pace a bit. I will let the reader do the math, but I finally arrived after parking, taking the shuttle, being first in line at security(Tuesday is a slow night) – I arrived at Gate A65 at exactly 7:10PM.
\nI had to go to the bathroom since about 4PM, but figured that I could not afford the time to stop. I was right.
\nWhew!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
