incompetence exposed (life)

Normally, I am a pretty competent person. I make it through each day
with little to no domestic hassle. I hold down a job. I see my friends
and family. I, well, you know, do all of the normal stuff. But, it
seems, there are some holes in my competency. I cannot find a way to
get myself to the airport. Normally, I'm the one who leaves and
friends and/or family make the run to the airport. This time, however,
my family has gone to Vee-Tee and my roommate beat me to CA.

This has caused me to need to try to figure out how to go to the
airport. Unfortunately, I am not taking a plane from the airport that
I can walk to from my apartment. And, it seems I have never taken a
taxi here in the city. Really, I've taken a few taxis. They were all
arranged for me by a friendly bar-man when the walk home is too
far/it's too dark or just pick one out from the line by my subway
stop. Now, I have to arrange to take a taxi from my apartment at the
crack of dawn and it's a little impossible.

Today is the day I figure it out. It's essential because tomorrow is
the day I take off and land in LA. Woo hoo!!!!
