At band practice this morning, but a bit jet-lagged. Hope I can still remember how to play!

Just landed at Huntsville airport. Can barely keep my eyes open.

Update: They just did the security check at the GATE just before boarding the flight! Different, but I think I like it better!

Airport check-in went SO quickly! Then I realized there was NO security check, no shoe removal, no x-ray, nothing! Fast, but troubling!
