The more complicated a plan, the more there is to go wrong with it. So I was very relieved when I touched down in Seattle on Sunday afternoon without any major hitches. Oh, there were a few minor ones of course, mostly invoving the drive down but nothing infuriating or catastrophic. Of course, I was pretty exhausted by the time I arrived; the van was unfamiliar and not nearly as maneuverable as I prefer in a vehicle, and every time I drive into the Bay Area I forget how large it is and continually need to re-adjust my time estimates. But I arrived only half an hour over my ETA, and Matt now has his stuff, and I had a lovely visit with my gentleman on Saturday, and my flight back on Sunday was both short and uneventful. I'll be returning to Sunset tomorrow, then this coming Sunday I'll be speaking at the convention of the Libertarian Party of King County, which is starting to put more energy into promoting decriminalization. I'm glad that's only a short drive away; I hope to have at least a little recovery time before taking another flight.
