Worst episode ever

Well, worst garage sale ever. Maura and I spent a bunch of the week getting things together, cleaning the garage and stuffing it with tables of stuff, and then it is a horrendous day. Rain and wind all day long. Thanks go out to Horst for dropping by and buying stuff.

I took some photos and I'll advertise on Craig's list while I'm gone. Hopefully everything will sell before I get back in October. What doesn't sell goes into the dumpster or to the Salvation Army. I'm telling them to bring the big truck.

Now I'm sitting in O'Hare, drinking bad coffee. This is my most-ever-luggage flight. Two big checked bags, largest possible carryon. I was worried about being overweight on the checked bags (50lb limit, $25 after that). I checked in at 42 and 38lbs :p I coulda gone more! Now I'm drinking bad coffee and waiting for my flight to Pudong. Delayed twice. Now estimated to leave at 12:40 instead of 10:55 :(

The party is somewhat firmly scheduled for Oct 14. Be there or be sober.

Aww.. sorry to hear the garage sale was a bust - I know how frustrating that is. All that prep, the time. Same thing happened to me in the spring. I made a whopping $12 over 2 days and swore I'd NEVER do it again.

Hang in there. :-)
