Subject: RE: FSGW 2008 Getaway Pix
Sins, I dunno if you gave me the cold or if we both caught it from someone else, but I guess the price I'm paying for trying to run on ca. 4 hr. sleep a night for 3 nights in a row is that I came down with a doozey of a cold/bronchitis by the time I flew back to Portland on Wednesday.   (I could pull all-nighters back to back with no prob when I was in my 20s. Can't figure out way the bod can't handle it now.)

Anyhoo, foggy sleep-deprived and nasally blocked minds do dumb things like plugging in their laptops in airport terminals, reminding themselves not to forget the power supply cord when packing up the laptop, and immediately thereafter walking off with the laptop power supply still plugged into the terminal wall.    I finally tracked down the power supply this morning; I knew exactly where and when I left it, in the Raleigh-Durham terminal, but, for the same reason I so easily left it behind, apparently nobody else noticed it till last night. (A white cord plugged into a white wall above a white counter, with the end of the cord flopped behind a row of chairs; very easy to miss.)   I should be getting the cord back next Tues. or Wed. (It helps to have a niece who works for American Airlines and based in Raleigh.)
Meanwhile, I really don't have anything but short-term emergency access to the MacBook that has my Getaway pics and videos.    So it'll be sometime next week before I can post anything or send any videos to Charlie Baum or Dick G. or set up a password-limited website.

I did get some really nice footage of a few events, though, and I can easily make stills from the videos too.   Stay tuned.
