My dood left for a talk in KC this AM with a connection through Dulles. Naturally, his flight was delayed leaving our convenient but incompetent airport 
He missed his connection & had to get a much later flight, getting him into KC at 8:30 CT. Apart from the overall annoyance, he also had to nix plans to get together with a buddy from grad school. I’m doubly glad now that I decided against coming along back in November when he booked everything bc obviously, the host wasn’t going to cover my ticket, plus it’s really not the ideal time of year to be exploring downtown in search of BBQ — although the meat sweats might’ve kept us warm 
Thankfully, @MrGuyGuyGuy & @tigerjohn had a few suggestions for restaurants open later than 9pm, so we’ll see if he lucks out somewhere.
This bachelorette, OTOH, greatly enjoyed not leaving the warm house for even a second today & taking care of some house chores.
Bc of a very late lunch, I decided to forgo last night’s leftover pasta and just had a big ole salad for dinner: iceberg, napa cabbage, sugar bombs, cukes & toasted pumpkin seeds w/buttermilk ranch.
Briefly discussed gilding it with fried up KOS or bacon, but didn’t want to deal
