Yesterday in the comments there was a discussion about whether ‘free shaving cream’ can counter any amount of extra Texas time.

we’ll let you decide. Check out this sweet cache of beard busting cream:

and some toothpaste to boot! Granted, the toothpaste won’t last very long. But 5 ounces of cream will probably keep me going for quite a few months. especially since I’m pretty stringent on cream usage. Perhaps… perhaps this supply will last until 2008.

That’s probably at least a 3-5 dollar savings.

Despite some tickets (3 tickets on different airlines), I didn’t get home last night. And somehow, both of my business colleagues are on a direct flight to Hartford right now and my flight doesn’t take off for another two hours and has layovers through every city in the central time zone.

It sounds like time for some Fun vs. Funk.

Funk: I won’t be home in time for Kung Fu
Fun: Extra Holiday Inn points.
Funk: Extra day in Texas.
Fun: I got some free shaving cream at the hotel
Funk: My bags are in Detroit
Fun: I got to chat with the company big wigs over dinner
Funk: 12 more hours of travel are in my immediate future

Ahh well. Thankfully the airport process is seamless. So I’m all but guaranteed to get home today without any problems whatsoever.

There are two types of holiday inns. The first is the type that has Pantene shampoo in the bathrooms. The second is the type that has the shampoo that smells like cinnamon buns.

Frankly, that’s just not a smell I associate with shampoo.

I mean… right now my hair smells delicious. And I find that weird.

When describing my seat on the airplane, my co-workers commented that I hit the jackpot.

And to some degree, I suppose that’s true. I had a window seat and an extremely cute chick in a tennis skirt sat next to me. She was hard not to look at. But… she was, at most, 18 and was with her Dad. They were checking out colleges in New England.

The age and trip purpose really made her seem less like a tennis vixen and more like a little sister.
