"Just Kidding!"

"... now put down your weapon, and laugh!"

Seems that no matter how close one _thinks_ one is to being packed up and ready to go, an announcement that one's flight got moved up and one has an hour to be ready will _still_ send one into a dizzy rush of desperate preparation, with a level of frenetic motion like unto that of a weasel on speed. Alas, it turned out to be a false alarm. At least now I know all my stuff will fit in my bags, and I'll be fully prepared when the real thing happens. And _this_ time, I _mean_ it. :-P
