christopher575I'm now in the plane waiting to taxi out. A few trip highlights before we take off:
1) I took a Midol for a hangover. Traci assured me that it's fine for me to take, and that it won't shrivel my testicles or make me more sensitive. The fact that she so easily convinced me to hurt her knee--and that I laughed so hard and long about it--is evidence that I'm still as brash and misogynistic as ever.
2) The Gateway Arch is a national park, so they sell books and videos about other national parks. Traci and I overheard an employee having to deliver some crushing news to a customer: "Las Vegas is not a national park."
3) St. Louis is a VERY friendly city. Just about every person we encountered asked, "How you doing?"
4) We also saw the Wax Museum, which was ok. It was impressive how into their jobs the employees were. Especially one of them, he just went on and on in his spoooooky voice about the chaaaaamber of horror (gasp!). Some of the figures were really good, but the ones representing black people were consistently the most realistic. Except for Michael Jackson, but he doesn't count.
5) The phone chargerjcii gave me quit working. The calls I made from my hotel to change my outgoing message and check for messages were about $14 each. What a waste, seeing as nobody left any messages. A co-worker from Kansas City was supposed to call and possibly meet up last night; I don't even know if she came to town. SUCKS.
