Number of delayed flights: 3
Number of missed connections (not the good, Craigslist kind): 2
Most consecutive hours of travel: 22
Number of American Airlines employees who believe that the word "xylophone" begins with a Z: at least 1
To cap what was already a fairly harrowing journey from Dublin, Ireland to Easton, CT (Kant family homestead) - during which I believe at least one and possible more than one American Airlines employee deliberately deceived us - Amtrak's entire computer system has been down for several hours, rendering it impossible for anyone to access train schedules, purchase tickets, or tell me what time to show up on the platform in Bridgeport (the poorest city in Connecticut, which is like the sparsest wing of the Taj Mahal).
On the plus side, I got here at 12:05 and there's a train at 12:31. On the minus side, it's now 12:38 and I'm still on a bench.
