In Texas

… for less than a weekend. In a few hours (6:20 AM ET) I’ll be flying to Dallas and then taking a bus to Hillsboro, Texas, where my grandmother lives. She turned 80 in late July this year and my parents are putting on a big party for her, and I need to be there. I’m looking forward to seeing them all again, and seeing my grandma, but I’m not looking forward to the travel time. Which is going to be horrible. I’ll be in transit (to and from) for as long as I’ll be there. I hate traveling. I mean, I don’t hate traveling, if that’s the point of the thing, but traveling inasmuch as it just gets me to other places… I hate it. With a passion. It’s such a waste of time. Someone needs to invent a transporter. Seriously. Star Trek totally had the right idea.

I hate traveling.
