Anderson Cooper

[irishtrekker]

Thanks, GR. I'm hanging in there -- I'm feeling a bit better, although I can't say I'm terribly thrilled about flying home for the holidays. Still, the biggest concern may wind up being my laptop. (WTF do they mean I have to put it in my checked bag, and how can they refuse to compensate me when it gets smashed to pieces by baggage handlers?)...or the part where I can't even have a book with me. Really, though, I just hate feeling like my own security is of my control...naturally, I have a ton of travel scheduled for the next few months, so I just have to grin and bear it.

Regarding the eco-terrorists, ARGH!!!! Like the Animal Liberation Front, abortion clinic shooters and all of those ilk, don't you think they'd realize they're doing their own cause more harm than good? It drives me crazy, especially since environmental work is my life and my passion. I'd really like to "thank" them for being such idiots. Oh well.

Anyway, back to work for me. Thanks for the good wishes. They definitely help.
