Vacation!

This is a picture I took today of the long descent over water into the airport at Norfolk, VA.


norfolk

Isn't it pretty, and a little relaxing even? It would have been if Norfolk, VA had been my intended destination, which it was not.


rainclouds


Here's a picture of the pretty storm clouds over Raleigh that the pilot flew circles around for a while before saying, "fuck it, we're going to Norfolk."


All's well that ends well, though. Mom is currently up to her unprotected neck in A Song of Ice and Fire so she doesn't GAF how long she has to wait at the airport. She probably barely noticed she was even at the airport. A Clash of Kings is one of the best, I agree.

brazilianbuffet

This is my dinner with minha màe at the Brazilian buffet in Greensboro. May the delicious taste and belly warmth still remain even after we lose to Colombia tomorrow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ON SUNDAY!

That looks delicious! Happy vacation and happy early birthday!

It really, really was. One positive effect of my flight being diverted was that we were able to make this restaurant's dinner hours instead of driving through Greensboro during the afternoon hours they're closed. So I count it as a win overall.

THANK YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU TOO!

You know who you share July 7 with, right?

I don't like sharing July 6 with George W. Bush, but I think the Dalai Lama and Frida Kahlo balance it out OK.

I do, I do! John being a cancerian makes sense to me ;) Yep, I'd take the Dalai Lama and Frida Kahlo to share a birthday any day. Have a lovely holiday and birthday!

It appears today is your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you're enjoying your vacay...you're in NC? Greensboro is near my brother in Raleigh, lol. Say hi to my bro for me. Although it's actually like an hour away, but if you cross paths by some weird chance. And happen to know who he is.

Shutting up now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY...AGAIN.

Thank you so much, belatedly. My parents live in Winston-Salem now, so still quite a ways from Raleigh. But growing up where I did (not in Winston-Salem, in a very tiny town in the mountains over the state line in VA), you get used to the idea of driving two hours to anything you want to do.

It was, this place is so good!

Yes, and Cancers and Capricorns (as Sherlock is) are supposed to be very compatible. :)
