Another Post About Nothing
No football today - not in person anyway. Michigan State is on the road at Notre Dame. But! The drag racing that got rained out is rescheduled for today, so there will be sports(!) again(!) in my Saturday.
….I’d rather sleep right now, but y’know there’s always tomorrow, I tell myself a la Scarlett O’Hara…..
My flight home yesterday was (are you ready for this?) delayed. Nah! you say. Couldn’t be! you say. Well, I say.
I got a call from American Airlines at 11 a.m. telling me that my 2:15 flight that afternoon had been delayed until 3:45.
My flight actually hit the air at 5:45. The plane that we were supposed to have never left Miami yesterday morning because of the tropical depression hovering over their state. We, (according to the airline), got the ONLY extra plane that was coming to O’Horror. And only 3 1/2 hours late. They called the crew in from home.
I ended up camping out in the Admiral’s club with free wireless and blog-reading for the entire time. Oh, and wine. Lots of nice white wine.

HOT LOVE
Please, please if you feel anything for poor little me at all, don’t mention *whispers ‘notre dame’. The pain!
Sorry to hear about O’Horror and craptastic American Airlines. Ugh.
Yay for white wine and free wireless!
Well, if you had to be stranded at the airport, at least you did it in style and not out amongst the masses. (Which would have been me and my family.)
Your summer has up and camped itself in my little corner of the world, where temperatures had dipped to a brisk 80 but now have returned to the mid-90s. What I wouldn’t give to see the red and orange hues of fall rather than the dead, lifeless brown of a drought-filled summer.
Congrats to Michigan State, even if I do adore the Fighting Irish. And here’s to big victories today by our professional teams.
I hate the airport. HATE. Seriously, where did summer go? Boo hoo…
O’Horror, so true! Not to be confused with Dullesaster.
Mouse - I feel your pain. I really do. Remember MSU and *whisper Notre Dame last year?
Jennifer - One of the teeny tiny perks of being a business traveler.
Cupcake - It’s actually been beautifully sunny the past two days, but not too hot. I’ll ask the breezes to pay you a visit. Go Lions! Go Redskins!
