Denver Baby

At O'Hare


I got in the security line and two elderly Japanese men were in front of me. They forgot to take off their belts (silly!) but their stuff had already gone through the Xray machine. They were about to drop their belts on top of Brower (my laptop) but thought better of it and looked shyly to me for approval. I gestured and had them set their belts in the bin with my shoes. On the other side of security, they laughed but I'm pretty sure they didn't understand my joke that I had no need for 2 men's belts so they shouldn't forget them.


ON my way to the gate, I saw an old man who looked like Creed on The Office! It wasn't him, but perhaps a distant cousin?


Then I started getting hungry at the gate. I picked up 2 snacks, one to eat on the plane and one to eat in Denver. I grabbed these silly fancy nuts (picture later!) and a bag of Dirty Potato chips (salt and vinegar <3!) and the lady said "$3.99 is that okay?" those goofy nuts were $3.99! Before I could think through how ridiculous that was and what other item I wanted to consume, I said "Sure". They were good, but not that good.


Flying to Denver (My first flight alone!)


This super cute British couple were sitting together and the man was in my seat and she said "We've been spilt up, would you mind terribly sitting in his seat?" So I obliged. And lucky for me, because down plopped a well dressed, spikey-haired, British accented, if not slightly sniffly, great smelling guy. He was polite and didn't laugh (that I heard) when my head lolled around on my chest (I hardly got sleep, after all). At the end of the flight, I told him about camp and school and he said "cool cool, best of luck to ya!" which sounded way cooler than I can tell you.


In the terminal in Denver, a woman who looks like Bruce the midwife who made a few appearances on the show Gilmore Girls delivering and nursing Sookie's baby stared at me.
Ok, no more blogging for now. Hurray, Justin helped me get the wifi working so I could log on the web my fantastic thoughts.
