So I’m pulling a Mandy and I’m blogging from the airport. I don’t want to be blogging from the airport, but I’m stuck here. You see, I should be close to Boston by now. Instead I’m in DC… very far from Munich. Here’s some highlights:

Apparently when I booked the flight in March they told me [...]

PAW PAW, Mich. — A 21-year-old man was taken on a wild ride Wednesday afternoon when the wheelchair he was in became attached to the grille of a semi-truck and was taken four miles down a highway at about 50 mph.
