florida.

Luck was on my side with yesterday's trip to Florida (where I'm spending time with some family). No less than a few hours after I got out of Des Moines, sleet apparently overtook the roads and made everything icy. I feel guilty to be in 85-degree weather, but hot damn, it feels good.

I've been trying to keep a travel journal with some consistency (no promises). I'll convert it from handwriting to typing and I hope to get some of it posted up here in the next week or so.

Two more things:
1) Saw "The Spirit." Awesome, bizarre movie. Think of it as a less violent, more detective-like "Sin City." Samuel L. delivers some great lines and Scarlett Johannson steals the show for a bit. Solid "A-" movie.
2) Futureme.org. Before the new year, take a visit to this site. It allows you to draft an email that will be stored and sent to you at a date of your choice in the future. The really neat thing is to see what some other people have written to themselves (you can choose to draft a private email or a public, but anonymous, email). Neat stuff and kind of a cool alternative to new year's resolutions if you're into that sort of thing.

much respect,
josh

EDIT: also, I'm told another plane slid off the runway at O'Hare the day before last (just after my last post). Hey, if it's good for the economy... (thanks, Tim)
