Well, I arrived at the airport around 12:30 p.m. I was so excited to get here that I didn't care that I was early! Anyway, it was uneventful getting my boarding pass but eventful getting past security. Ok, so I set off the alarm by having something metal on me. What was it? Most likely my earrings. I had a choice of either taking my earrings off and running them through the detector or getting patted down. Ok, so I chose getting padded down. We all like that human touch! LOL! [Note to Rose: Ok, Rose, here was your funny that you wanted!]
Well, here I am in the little bar/restaurant here at the Portlant Jetport. I just settled in and logged in to the blog. I had to pay for access to the web but oh well it is vacation. I ordered a Heinken Light and nachos. I need food before boarding because I won't get into Flint until after 8:00 p.m. Other things on the menu did not really appeal to me so there you have it. Maybe I should have more than one beer before my flight. We shall see.
You will never guess who came in - Deb Simpson! We are sitting here chatting away. No postings about conversations allowed.
It is now 3:07 p.m. and my flight is at 4:05 p.m. so I will hang out here for another 30 minutes or so. People are milling around outside of this little hidewaway of mine. Standing room only for people watching the US Open. People watching is a must. As you might expect, there is a wide variety of people sitting around just waiting to go somewhere, anywhere, not here in the airport. I always wonder where people are going. Are they going home? Are they going on vacation? Are they going to see love ones? Are they just on a business trip? Sometimes it is hard to tell unless you overhear conversations.
Someone is looking for the news channel. He didn't want to watch the Red Sox as it sounded as though he is a Yankees fan. Oh well, you get all kinds here in this maze of human intermingling from all areas in this country and beyond. I didn't realize that the Red Sox was playing this afternoon. I need to take a lesson from Rose to pay attention. It is difficult some days to remember that I should ask the question - When is the Red Sox playing next? Ok, so I became an avid fan since going to the game on Father's Day! I am only able to listen to them on the radio because I don't get that channel at my house.
I wonder what other people are doing on this rainy, foggy day. There are so many choices: (1) working; (2) shopping; (3) movies; (4) outside getting wet; or (5) vacation bound. Whatever people can do to get away from the weather and maybe taking a break from life as usual. It is summer you know! Another Jimmy Buffett song is "Boat Drink". Here are some lyrics: I'd Like to go where the pace of life is slow; Could you beam me somwhere Mr. Scott?
Well, I have to pay my tab and head to the gate to wait for boarding. I hope you enjoy my blog. Enjoy your day!
