Life goes. I was in Phoenix for my friend’s wedding last week, and also took a trip to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument with my parents.

Also got to catch up with David, Matt, Isaac, and Janet, which was fun.

The most interesting part, though, was probably the flight back. Got to the airport around 10 for a noon flight, and got an error from the Southwest checkin kiosks that I couldn’t check bags more than 4 hours before the flight time. Turns out my plane was coming from Burbank, and the Oakland to Burbank leg had been rerouted to Las Vegas due to weather in Burbank. (The list of flights for that airport was just a mess of rerouting that morning, so that was fun.)
\nMy parents wanted to go walk or do something else instead in the meantime, given the flight was scheduled for 2 (and then 2:30) PM, but I figured I’d go sit at the gate anyway. So I do that, and then I notice a while later that the flight was once again on time for noon.
\nTurns out they were getting a plane from a hangar instead of waiting for the Burbank plane, so we were all getting ready to board… and then the flight changed to 1:15 instead (I guess they had paperwork for the plane that needed to be completed). And then it showed on time again.
\nI have a series of emails in my inbox from Southwest for the 5 (!) schedule changes for the flight, which were basically jumping back and forth between the original noon time and other times between 1 and 2:30. Not sure why they couldn’t do the updates in a more reasonable way, but whatever.
\n<\/p>\n

Otherwise, not much has been happening. We had probably around 160 or 170 trick-or-treaters yesterday (we left the bowl of candy out after 151, passed a few groups of trick-or-treaters heading to our street, and then found the bowl empty an hour later), which is a bit of a reduction from last year’s ~200. I guess the colder weather this year had some effect, although maybe not as much as we were originally expecting.
\n<\/p>\n

Also there was more karaoke, which is always fun.
