I'm here at the airport now. I was originally going to leave the hotel at nine-thirty, but folks told me it could take an hour to ninety minutes, so i got nervous and left at nine instead. The ride to the airport, even with a bit of traffic on 34th Street, took thirty-three minutes. Then I hunkered down for an hour-long journey through security. Since when one purchases extra legroom you get to use a special faster line, I asked where it was. I was told it wasn't because there WAS no line at all. And there wasn't. It took me all of seven minutes to get through security (and no scanner this time). So, I've got a nice two-hour wait now, but I'm happy to be here safe and sound and keep sending excellent vibes and xylophones for a safe, secure, and on-time flight and that the very gray weather goes away or doesn't get worse before I leave.
