Urban Onramps

Well, then. I’m here waiting for my flight to DC. I’m on an American Airlines flight from LAX to Miami (what up Benny Salas), then connect to Reagan (I love calling it Reagan airport; you can’t convince me the man didn’t single-handedly bring down the Berlin Wall with all that “pointing the nukes east” stuff and suchlike; but i digress). I’m going to speak Sunday night at the World Vision Youth Empowerment Summit. Jeremy Del Rio is keynoting that summit tonight (or did, rather). Then Tali Hairston is up on Monday night. I took public transportation from Pasadena to LAX. I calculated 22 bucks for someone to drive me to and fro, and the Metro Gold Line (buck twenty five) and the FlyAway bus from Union Station (foor bux) added up to $5.25. From the time I boarded the bus to the time I stepped off the bus, it was 75 minutes. From the time I arrived at the train station (Sierra Madre Villa; we had eaten dinner at Islands Restaurant following Micah’s ballet recital), it was 85 minutes. So this public transportation thing is all right. I know someone who may begin working at the downtown MTA building soon, so perhaps I’ll hook up and do more public transpo in the future. All right - after I keynote on Sunday night, I’m spending the night and then catching an 8am flight out of DCA back to LA. I’m scheduled to arrive back just before noon. I’m guessing the public transpo will put me back in Pasadena at about 2pm. So, yes, it’s another Road Warrior trip for Carrasco. I rented “There Will Be Blood” off of iTunes, so I’ll watch that. I’m also helping shape this project, so I’ll do some of that during my travel, too (note: they’ve listed me as Dr. Carrasco, which I’ll receive as a prophetic word, since at present I’m the holder of a BA).
