It rained on us. Yes, I'm the only guy in the world that can go from the Pacific Northwest to sunny Florida and have it rain on me. Just remember that every silver cloud has a dark lining.
It was very long and we spent most of the time inside. Squirrel and I did manage to find a very nice little brew pub that had a lovely little Amber ale. Not bad considering that we were in a beer wasteland.
The meetings were long, not very well planned. We could have cut at least two days off the schedule if we had just used our time better and still covered more information than we did. Did I mention that Squirrel and I found a nice little pub?
So, I fly to the Dallas airport from West Palm Beach and taxi to gate C31 so that I can get off the airplane and run to catch my connecting flight, my connecting flight is departing from gate A14 in 40 minutes and the plane from West Palm Beach is 10 minutes late getting to the gate. I was the last person to board the plane and was stuck in the back of the bus. I had a nice view of the engine. In case you are wondering, C31 is at the far end of the terminal from the A concourse and A14 is at the other end of the A concourse from the C concourse. Also, C31 means just that, there are 31 gates until you reach the sky bridge to get to concourse A and start at A32 and start running down the gates to A14. I made it home late as the plane from Dallas to Portland was rerouted because of bad weather all over the country. We were going to fly a 38,000 feet, but instead flew at 22,000 to 29,000 feet and flew over the Grand Canyon and up through Northern California instead of the normal flight path of up the east side of the Rockies and around Denver and over to the North West. I'm just not a fan of the MD80 airplane. I prefer anything that does not have the engines less that 4' from my ear.
I'm home for the weekend and then off to southern California.

annoying - oh, that would be stating the obvious
I hate those 40 minute connections. NW has given me a 32 minute "legal" connections in Memphis a couple of times. I have made that one a couple of times (they re-opened the airplane door to let me on one night.)
It is good to have you back with us for a few days.

Seriously, you're in the mindset that "C" to "A" just can't be that far apart...I'm going to propose a bill that they can only number gates 1-10 and then airports must start a new letter. It's only common sense.
