Things I would have Twittered today

Things I would have posted to Twitter today at Houston's Intercontinental Airport (IAH), had there been free WiFi access, which there wasn't. And I guess I didn't feel like texting all these thoughts.

10:20 Mad at Continental for charging us $30 for 2 bags. Didn't get charged on the way to IAH, apparently b/c we checked our luggage with Horizon.

10:25 Luggage fee is the #1 way to make me hate an airline. Horizon, with free luggage and free local wine/microbrew, remains my favorite airline.

10:35 Wow, I actually visited a site with a .aero TLD. Unfortunately, it's boingo.aero, the stupid pay-for-WiFi service at IAH. I hate you, IAH.

10:44 Another thing I hate about IAH: the always-on TVs. Which make me remember that I hate always-talking cable news. I hate you, CNN.

Of course, the fact that I was able to be annoyed by such petty things indicates that the trip home was, all told, a lot less stressful than the one we'd had from Portland to Houston (via Seattle) a week earlier, what with all the crazy winter weather at that time.

But I'd hate to deprive you of my Twitter output, given that I've already effectively deprived you of blog output. Thus, a blog post about what I would have Twittered. Life is odd.
