Bike or plane?

I was able to leave work early on Saturday morning, as the ER was flush with staff and things had quieted down by 3am. So, happily, I was able to sleep a good while before driving W to the airport. We usually fly in and out of Dulles, but getting to Kansas, where his family relocated this past year, usually means flying out of National. 

After dropping him off I stopped by a little park along the Potomac and watched the planes til I heard all was well with his flight (it had been delayed). Quite a few folks were there marveling at the roar overhead. Thinking of the recent crash just offshore, too. 

Then off to an evening with cousin S.
