    Default I'm sitting in the airport in Albequerque

    and since we got up, ate at 3:30 a.m. (!) I'm hungry. I have some pkgs. of cookies in my purse but didn't really want those just yet. Sssoooo I get in a looong line at a kiosk that serves coffee and muffins, etc. . Can you believe that I just paid $2.15 for a big slice of banana bread?! I think I know what business I should be in now.

    Yup, I've done it before. Everything always costs more in the airport.

    That reminds me about when we flew back from Hawaii last year. Our flight was leaving like at 11am or something. I wanted to go eat breakfast one last time at this little local place that we had discovered that had the best biscuits in the world (they were more like honey muffins but they called them biscuits) before we caught our flight. DH was in a hurry for whatever reason (we had plenty of time) and wanted to go turn in the rental car *right now* and said 'we can get something to eat at the airport'. Well our gate was somewhere in Outer Mongolia and all there was, was a Pizza Hut stand that sold small personal size pizzas for like 8 bucks each, and drinks were 2.50.

    I was not happy.

    I did not want pizza for breakfast but we had no choice. We could have had a great breakfast but nooooo.
    “When you get to the end of all the light you know
    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on
    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference    .

    We had Gripey's laptop with us and they provide free wireless internet there. It was the only airport we were able to hook up in which stinks b/c we had like 5 hours to kill in BMI . Anyway it was fun while it lasted.
