These days

Here's a fun quiz.

Q) What's better than getting up at 3:30am for your flight out of Chicago?

A) Getting up at 3:30am for your flight out of Chicago, and the flight's been cancelled and now instead of leaving Chicago at 6:45am and arriving in Toronto around 9am, you're leaving Chicago at 10am, stopping in Washington, DC, and arriving in Toronto at 3pm.

BONUS MARKS:

Q) If they're still putting you up in first class and ticket agents think you paid for first class, is it easy to be amused by all this?

A) Yes.

Q) But doesn't it suck not to be with your friends in Toronto?

A) Obviously. Given a choice, I'd much rather be in Toronto than in some combination of Chicago and Washington --

Q) I feel a "but" coming on ...

A) but now that we've added a new city to the mix (ie, Washington, DC), who knows where my journey will take me? I wouldn't mind being shunted off to NYC or someplace in New England. Ooo, or maybe Real England. That would rock.

Q) As long as you're in Toronto by Sunday to get on your return flight to Saskatoon, right?

A) Y'exactly.
