waiting for my ride

[fox]

Checkout time was noon, so now I'm in the hotel lobby waiting for the cab that will take me to the train that will take me to the T that will take me to the house that Jack built airport.  Actually I'm in the breakfast room, where there are tables I can work at -- but there's also a TV, and the receptionist just put Days of Our Lives on, and oh my god.  Not only is the cast the same as it was fifteen years ago, but they look the same.  One guy has a sort of grizzled beard where it used to be dark.  Otherwise, nothing has changed.  ack.
