Spent about an hour there and then drove to the Amtrak station to pick up her mom who is coming to visit since she's in Calfornia.

But we had a lot of nice wine! I finally got back to the hotel and got my flight changed for tomorrow since my meeting is ending early again. will be landing in oakland at 4pm instead of 8pm. YEAH!!!!!!

He apologizes for all the misinformation, says my ONLY option is to log onto my account and use "bankmail" ask them to overnight me a check which I'd have by Friday morning assuming they receive my mail and process it by tomorrow morning at 11am. I ask him how I know my bankmail will be received right away so that I can actually GET the check by Friday AM, and not get a "we'll...
