Thank you, Continental

for canceling the only direct flight to Cleveland.

I was originally scheduled to fly through Chicago, but when I changed my flight to Tuesday instead of Wednesday, they routed me through Denver.  What they didn't tell me is that I also had to stop in Chicago.  It took about 9 hours to get home.  At least the United seats are more comfortable.

Home is nice.  Cold.  I'm about to get a massage from the crazy Ukrainian trainer.  One time he told me "Americans...they use oil all the time, but I am Russian, and we only use oil when we go really deep."  He says this as he pours oil all over my leg.  Hopefully I don't cry today.
