Head west, young girl!
I am killing a little time in my layover in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I should be enjoying some coffee under the Portland, Oregon clouds right now, but God decided it should rain and rain terribly hard yesterday so my plans were thwarted. My flight from Dallas to New Mexico would not make it in time for me to catch my connecting flight to Portland. So they secured me a ticket for today.
Nina Goes to Portland: Take 2.
I wasn’t exactly happy, but I didn’t let it wreck my night. If you like people watching, the airport is a great place to do so. It was interesting to see how people handled themselves when their plans were thwarted as well. Some merely booked the next flight out, and some people muttered mean things about Southwest Airlines as if they control the weather. (Southwest Airlines, if you do, please send sunshine my way, thank you!)Â I thought it was even moreso interesting that I happened to read this as I finished up Blue Like Jazz today:
“The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: Life is a story about me.”
~Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz
Anyway, just wanted something to kill some time. It is terribly hot in the neat little laptop area they have setup at ABQ so I think I’m going to pop a squat at the gate. In the midst of the ticket switch, I only managed to be in the B group. I’ll be ecstatic if I get a window seat.
