grr.

All I want to do is go to Chicago to visit Shift. I haven't been there in almost three years (work trip last fall didn't count), so there are new apartments to see, boys to meet, and lots of sisterly catching up to do. But the stupid airline industry is getting in the way, with its reduced flights, ridiculous rules about using frequent flier miles (don't even get me started) and airfares that cost half a paycheck. But I swear I'll make it happen before it gets cold and snowy in Chicago...I know, I better act fast.
