Strangeness

My computer wouldn't wake up in New York when I first landed there two weeks ago. It stubbornly refused to even turn on despite all my attempts and actions over my time here. Tonight, giving up all hope, I even called it in on the insurance to claim it. Then, at my gate, going through the final security, the security guy told me to turn it on. I began to explain that it was broken, pushing the on button as I did so, and it turned on. He waved me by, and I staggered to a seat, unbelieving. It was as Christ had commanded the lame man to walk. There is free wifi here, so I'm checking email and cruising along. I still can't believe this thing is working. Its just too wierd.

Said goodbye to mom and dad tonight, I hope they made it home to Abu Dhabi safely. It's a long drive and they dropped me at 11 PM. It's about 1 AM here. I have a long long day of travel ahead of me. I just want to go to bed. Great great great about my laptop. I just have to hope she survives the trip home. What phenomenal good luck. At the check in, I got a middle seat, but one at the first row- so huge legroom, plus, they tagged it so it can go straight on to Phoenix, just for me to place it on a conveyer right after customs, which will save me some time and energy.
