I left for the airport yesterday at 11:00 am. A colleague called the booth and told me that the airport was pure pandemonium and that I should leave as early as possible since the lines for security wrapped around the building. This sounded very plausible since I experienced that a few years ago at the Vegas airport. I immediately took off without so much as a goodbye to anyone. The airport was perfectly fine. The line was long but everything was under control and it didn’t take long to get through at all. Perhaps my colleague was in a different terminal? I don’t know. I waited to board with my 60-year old friend. We talked and I really warmed up to him. It was a nice conversation. Boarding took place at 1:00 and the plane jumped into the sky around 2:00. The first three hours of the flight I spent looking out the window. The United States is a big country. After three hours, darkness set in and I put in my Mobiblu earplugs and relaxed to music I downloaded from Record Brother. I can’t remember what state we were over, maybe Missouri but the pilot announced we would be hitting a “light show” and to look out the window. Sure enough there were bursts of colors traveling across the sky. I wasn’t sure if it was a storm or the aurora borealis but it was amazing. The plane landed around 10:00 and I got home at 11:00 pm. After checking my email, I went to bed.
