Yay for free Wi-Fi at the Denver airport! Lance texted me to tell me he was on Yahoo and then we were able to talk (I realize he could've called me on the cellphone too, but I think he was just giddy about the free internet, so why not indulge him?).

He just left to go and walk around a bit and stretch his legs. And he needs to get something to eat. He's been sick to his stomach since after dinner last night and isn't feeling too great today, but he's going to still try and get some sustenance.

As for me, I have to get to Target and pick up my prescriptions so they stop calling me daily to remind me. And I think I'll take a little drive out to Renton and scope out where my job interview will be on Tuesday. I know approximately where it is, since it's right down the road from where I've been doing that temp job, but since it's an industrial park and there are a lot of buildings, I want to know ahead of time where it is and not be frantically searching for it on Tuesday afternoon when time is of the essence.

I sold a book I listed on amazon.com last night (only 2 more to sell, but as they are rather obscure and not popular fiction, I doubt they will sell), so I have now made back half the amount I spent last night on books. Hehe. And this book I'm reading now will be listed as soon as I'm done and write up the review. I like being a book reviewer...I get the books for free, but if I don't think I'll re-read them, I can sell them on amazon and make a little pocket change. I did that too when I was in grad school and we always got free sample copies of textbooks, which I would then turn around and sell for $50.

Lance and I have been following the Boeing/Air Force/tanker contract controversy over the past week or so with no small amount of interest. Lance had nothing to do with the tanker contract, by the way (in case anyone was wondering...my brother asked)...his particular affiliation with Boeing has more to do with AWACS than tankers. But anyway, this story came out this morning, and Lance and I found it interesting. Never thought this could potentially affect the outcome of the presidential election, but I understand why. Boeing is really truly super pissed off, and they want heads to roll. But hey, if there is even the slightest possibility that it could help swing the election in favor of the Democrats...I'm not complaining.
