*thud* again

[amethyst73]

Back, in one piece.  6 hr 40 min nonstop flight back, going by way of Canada due to weatherage in the lower 48 - that's presumably why it took so long.  2 periods of kinda exciting turbulence, but mostly pretty straightforward. 

Home.  Tired.  Grateful to be home, if feeling slightly guilty.  More coherent post in a day or two.

Happy new year, almost!
