Phobic again

Aug 17, 2006

No pages today. No time at my desk at all. The day was spent preparing for the trip. I was waxed, and buffed, and, feel that it was a complete waste of my day. So why do it? Because I’m a girl, and those are the rules for girls. I am totally loosing it about getting on a plane tomorrow. Verging on a full blown panic attack. Shit. I thought I was better than this, but apparently not. Double shit. The extra stress about whether they’ll change the restrictions at the gate. The almost sure knowledge that they’ll loose some lugage during the three hour lay over in Chicago. Three hours, because almost no one flies directly from St. Louis to anywhere. The fact that it’s this hard to fly out of St. Louis on a regular basis has to be hurting our city’s economy. I know that if I were a business person trying to decide where to open up a new branch of my business that the fact that I can’t get in and out of the city on any airline with regularity would make me hesitate. I can’t be the only one that is bothered by this. I don’t know what we can do to help the situation, but no direct flights to so many places is really making traveling from St. Louis a challenge. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Minnesota. And this will be our first look at the special edition of the comic book in the all together. We’ve seen the artwork and script as it came through, but we haven’t seen the finished product. We’ll be seeing the special edition Saturday with the rest of you for the very first time. I am excited about that. The artwork has been amazing. See you there.
