Flew to Denver early yesterday morning. Landed at the airport and sat on the tarmac
for an hour. Missed all connections to
Ohio. Thousands of flights cancelled or
delayed across the United States. Ate an
awful-tasting burger that turned into a serpent in my stomach. Stood in line with hundreds of other flyers
for six hours to find connecting flights—all the while using my computer and
phone to find the same. Worked with an
agent for twenty minutes to simply arrange a standby flight back home. Flight home departed the gate several hours
late. Sat on the tarmac for another
hour. Arrived back home late in the
night.
No trip to Ohio.
Woke late this morning from a dream of my ranch
neighbor firing artillery shells at me.
End of report.

Sorry about that. Travelling during the Christmas holidays could be risky. My sister once travelled from Europe to Hawaii during the Christmas holidays and sat at the airport in London for 24 hours and sat for another 24 hours at the airport in Seattle before finally landing in Hawaii.
