Leaving Detroit

On my way to Prague for my birthday, on the first plane from DTW to Frankfurt. A few minutes after i get on the plane i fall asleep, before we even leave the terminal. I wake up as the plane is heading back to the DTW terminal. For a few seconds i think that i am returning from my trip, and perhaps i drank so much absinthe that i forgot the whole thing, but i feel my face and do not feel the wrinkles of old age (30+) so know that we have yet to leave.

Pieces keep falling off the plane, and we keep needing to have them fixed (only in the States, too many lawsuits).

A couple hours later the flight will leave and hours after that it will land uneventfully in Frankfurt. I will need to make other arrangements to get to Prague, but these will all be paid for by NWA, increasing their debt. The only real problem i will face is feelings of depression at missing the 3 inches of snow that will fall in Ann Arbor on my birthday.
