I battled the Orbitz for Business booking system, and i have finally won. After an engagement last night that resulted in a draw, i snuck up on the booking system this morning and was able to find flights i was actually allowed to book.

I make the early December planning travel agreeable by seeing my family on the same trip, getting double duty from the cross continental flight.

Last night's entertainment for Christine was attending the Mountain View City Council meeting. Christine didn't think it would take to 9 pm. I was surprised when she wasn't home until after 10 pm.

While she was out, i was looking for something to watch and didn't quite want to take on another Poldark, but Frazier (humorous!) wasn't quite right. I saw there was something called The Canterville Ghost and it had Patrick Stewart in it, and it was based on an Oscar Wilde short story. Perfect!

Except, not. I eventually realized that Oscar Wilde would be public domain, and i should just go read the story. And thus, the failure of the made for TV movie becomes apparent. The *movie* was from the American daughter's point of view. The story was from the ghost's point of view. And Patrick Stewart was the ghost.
