Have you ever had one of those days when things just weren't working for you? For some reason, today is that day for me, and I'm typing this to you from DFW Airport. My morning started trying to find a Starbucks via Hertz's Neverlost system, but every time I tried to go to a Starbucks (there were several within miles), it would say "you have arrived" and there wasn't a Starbucks I could see anywhere in sight.
