Arrived home around 6:30 p.m. I immediately turned around and headed over to Monstermutt to pick up Frisket. Frisket made it quite clear with whirring, whooing and some shoving that I'm not supposed to go away for multiple weeks again.

Given that I woke up around 2100 GMT on Monday night and barely slept on the flight home, I'm surprisingly awake (perhaps three Code Reds for dinner helped). Am watching the Sox beat the Astros in apparently the longest World Series game on record.

I have to fly 253 miles to requalify for AA Platinum status for next year. I toyed with flying to Austin to check in on my brother's new house but that's not exactly a one-day trip. Lisa has suggested flying to Boston and back while American is engaged in a fare war with Jet Blue.
