The Streak…<\/h3>\n

When I got back to the room last night after a great session of Wood Duck photography I was feeling quite ill, fighting a cold. I climbed into bed at 7:11pm, read for a while, and then conked out. I had set the alarm for 2:45am. I awoke at 1:11am feeling rested, read for a while, and then began packing. I started working on this blog post yesterday afternoon and am finishing it while waiting for the first of my two flights to Orlando on Southwest. <\/p>\n
