| Do they still have those automatic plastic toilet seat covers at O'Hare? I was awed and freaked out at the same time when I saw those. |

Oh man, you reminded me of airport bathrooms. People have no dignity in those places.
I travel a lot, and I always hear someone talking on a cell phone in a bathroom stall. No phone call is important enough to take it in the echo chamber.  |

I'd totally use that. After giving birth and peeing while barely concealed behind shrubbery mid-run that wouldn't phase me a bit. That's a cool social experiment, though. |

Quote from cameraready on 5/3/2008 at 5:22 AM:Only 11 more hours until my next scheduled flight.  At least I found a power outlet I can use for my laptop. I can catch up on reading posts while sitting on this hard floor.  FYI: They sell cliff bars in one of the kiosks. I also found a Ritter Sport chocolate bar.  I haven't had one of those since my trip to Germany 4 years ago.
Ritter Sport chocolate is DA BOMB!! Unfortunately, here in CA they have them in places as common as Safeway. I am getting fat on those things.

Finally made it out of there. Lesson learned: Pack more important items in carry-on bag. The airlines wouldn't release my checked bag so there wasn't much point in driving home. Thank god for laptops and wifi.
MTA: When I finally made it back to the office, my coworkers were nice enough to pimp my truck with some pink and purple flames.  |

Kid is 7, but I've only been running for a little over 2 years. That combo of motherhood and distance running sure does seem to kill inhibitions, though.
