Slight Turbulence

What a day, what a day.

What a day to start the year. What a way to start my supposed grandiose turnaround. Three hours of sleep, followed by almost missing our flight because some crazy international evangelical "church" decided to come together right next to the airport to the tune of 150,000 strong faithful(bankrollers), followed by my dad having to stay behind in São Paulo for 10 hours because we arrived too late too check our bags onto the plane, followed by my sister almost not being allowed on the plane because he needed consent from both parents (including the one who was forced to stay behind) to travel, only saved through some dramatic airport running/line cutting. It was carnage.

Anyways, if I were one to believe in omens... I would be concerned. But since I left my rabbits foot and tea leaves back at home i have little choice but to soldier on. At the very least I was able to take a 300 page chomp out of book one of the new year (review coming soon, and my first 30 points!) and now that were here in Montevideo I'll be getting my exploring points as well.

I'm beginning to think that this point system jives pretty well with all the fantasy basketball I will not be playing nearly as much now.
