Arghhhhhhh
Greetings from Aspen, where I was expecting a few hours to work on Term Sheet before hopping a plane back home. Instead, United canceled my flight due to 'weather' (it's lovely here, and the cancellation apparently occurred 9 hours before take-off). That means I only had time to do the news blurbs, and now must run off to the airport.
In short: Major apologies for making my problems your problems. And, if you feel so inclined, please go on Twitter to yell at @United for me. I'll have a bunch of scoop and other stuff to share with you tomorrow...
