Better stories about Toronto than this one forthcoming. Toronto was really quite amazing. The flight home: not.

approx 6-6:30pm EST Sunday: board plane for Dallas
approx 7-7:30pm EST: informed of malfunctioning door on plane. change planes
approx 8-8:30pm EST: informed of malfunctioning computer on new plane. plane “powered down” and then, apparently, “back up” (judge for yourself if these are proper uses of quotation marks). plane apparently runs Microsoft.
approx 8:30pm EST-11pm CMT: fly from Toronto airport to the general vicinity of the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport. fall into holding pattern somewhere above Waco.
12am CMT Monday: run low on fuel. land in Houston. yes, Houston.
12-3am CMT: wait in line in Houston terminal for hotel voucher, flight coupon, and new flight bookings for Monday morning. there were only approx 60 ppl on the flight. we were about 3/4ths back in the line. you do the math.
3:30-6:45am CMT: sleep. arrangements dramatically different than those enjoyed in Toronto. additionally, people are noticeably more mentally challenged (see also previous bullet).
7:30am CMT: check in for flight to Dallas.
10ish: arrive, Dallas.
