Labor Pains: I got to battle the Labor Day weekend crowd by flying to Boston, driving to Cape Cod, and then venturing back. And for the first time I flew Independence Air. It's a decent airline for the cheap prices, but they decided to make the FAA required safety demonstration more fun by playing recordings of celebrities giving the lecture. For the flight down, I got to hear Dennis Miller. I think he's a funny guy and all, but I wasn't too impressed with yet another joke about how everyone should know how to buckle a seatbelt by now.

Oh, and I inadvertently (I swear) carried a small pocketknife onto the plane. It's a silver Buck knife with a two-and-a-half-inch blade that I had left in my backpack on accident. Security never noticed it for both trips. Oh well.
