Words go past my eyes all day

and now they go past yours via Twitter:

• 11:33 plane we were on something called an EBJ - no idea who makes it - smaller than aDC8, engine sounds like a hair dryer. #
• 11:44 let's try not to think too hard about what a bottle of organic lemonade (no HFCS!) costs in an airport. #
• 16:05 that's ERJ, not EBJ, and the maker sounds like Enbreyer? Anyway, damn uncomfortable small plane for a 3+ hour flight. Just Td in Omaha. #
• 17:19 leaving Omaha (Nebraska) airport in rental car, we come across this sign; The People of Iowa Welcome You. #
• 00:44 Union Pacific (practically everything) #

from the "business center" in our hotel

We just walked back to our hotel from the wedding reception, which was only 2 blocks away. It's a bit chilly here, but we actually have adequate clothing for it. Anyway, the rock'n'roll was getting a bit louder, and much of the over-50 crowd decided to drift on out and leave it to the kids. I did talk to the band first, though, to discuss saxophone mouthpieces with their utility drummer/sax player.

The bride was beautiful, the groom was there, the family was noisy. Our family is ALWAYS noisy. Tomorrow morning we're having a family brunch. Expect more noise.
