Leaving Denver, the safety demonstration is complete, the aircraft has already pushed back and is beginning to taxi, and I'm walking down the aisle checking seat belts and such.......Man, woman, and two children....all a bit odd as this conversation will confirm:
MAN to ME: Have we closed the door yet?
ME: (Looking outside at the pavement moving along below us): No.
MAN to ME: Oh, as soon as we do, can my daughter move over by me (there is one vacant middle seat between him and his daughter...all she had to do is slide over).
ME: Sure. And on I go down the aisle feeling no need whatsoever to confront the stangeness that has become our world.
Here is my work week ahead (9,000 and some odd miles)...... complete with a journey to a brand new city that I've never visited before.....AUSTIN, TEXAS. In spite of the fact that it's hotter than a two-bit whore there, I'm looking forward to exploring the food and music and gay scene.....and also watching the thousands of bats return to the Congress Street Bridge at sunset.

Austin is hot. You're hot. It's the perfect match! :-)
I flew to Vegas this past weekend. People on planes are crazy. By the when, when are airlines going to start limiting the number of items people can bring onboard? I was shocked to see the amount of things people bring. They need to check all that crap!!
Have fun in Austin! I'm not a fan of Texas, and I loved that town!
I gave up all hope of sanity on flights when a passenger decided to go the bathroom just as the pilots were throttling up for take-off. She flung off her seat-belt and ran into the bathroom, I hope she had a fun ride in there.
Flying would be fun again if it wasn't for the passengers.
I love Austin! How long will you be there? Try to come up to Dallas sometime!
my hair is as big at Texas!
Texas i dislike. Be safe. I hear everything is bigger in Texas! wink wink
I honestly don't know how you or anyone can be in the airline business anymore. Crazy people are everywhere, of course, but the craziest seem to flock to the airport.
Austin! One of my favorite cities! Hope you have some time there to explore the city!
austin is supposed to be an incredible city...so much so that i am contemplating a move there...nothing holding me to cleveland any more and think a change would be good....enjoy your trip and by the way.....new pic is great...quite the cutie....
have fun in Texas...but remember "Don't mess with Texas'!
Honey, you have got me thinking today. And I can't wait to share it with you. But it's too big for a comment ;) Much hugs!
Austin is nice. If I was condemned to live in Texas this is where I would want to be.
I love bats; what a sight that must be to see !
Isn't it amazing what people _will_ ask permission for -- contrasted with all the things people will do _without_ asking first?
I'm flying cross-country tomorrow. I'll try to keep my bizarreness to a minimum.
