Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Sunday, February 20, 2005
And Away We Go!
Before I start... Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
Earl and I are sitting at Albany International Airport awaiting Southwest flight #2975 for Baltimore at 8:25 a.m. From there, we head to Orlando and fun and frivolity and Disney World.
I thought I was going to get beat down to the ground by a very butch woman at the security checkpoint. I understand that these new security procedures are for our own good, but I really do not enjoy it. I didn't hear her tell me to take off my coat, boots and belt, I thought she just had to look at them. So just became a bit hysterical when she thought I ignored her and tried to breeze through security with a belt on. So then I had to take off my belt and boots and jacket and put them through x-ray. Then I made the metal detector beep anyways. Apparently there's a very small piece of metal in my wallet, which then I had to put that through x-ray as well.
I quipped that it would be easier to walk through naked. They didn't appreciate that comment either.
So now we're sitting here awaiting our flight. I was going to surf the internet while waiting, since there is no internet access in our hotel room, but I'm not in the mood to pay $6.95 for the privilege. I believe that technology has advanced enough that someone we need to work out free internet access in public places. Of course, that's not really practical, but I think it's a wonderful idea. Either that or there needs to be a common carrier or something like the way ATM machines work so that you can pay one carrier and get internet access on any network. Or put a cell phone SIM card into your computer and you'll get a bill at the end of the month. But I'm not really crazy about sending my credit card number all over the place to pay for the internet.
Now I'm going to try and relax and enjoy our vacation.
