Aren't my kids cute?

So, since my kids are posting their days, I figured I'd post mine here as well. It'll mean more posts, but EVERYONE loves to read Matis posts...

So, for yesterday:

1. I saw Becca's teacher, Mrs Brown, checking in at American Airlines the same time I was. I thought that was an oddity.

2. My group got on the airplane and we were then told (after they shut the doors) that they had been told that our flight was going to be delayed for about an hour. So they moved us to an airplane parking lot. Why couldn't they just let us sit in the airport for a little longer?

3. We got to JFK with about 1.5 hours before they were going to start boarding our next flight. We rushed through the terminals, cut in line at the TAM airline counter for our boarding passes and arrived at our gate with about 10 min before they started boarding. So we got on the plane... and waited for an hour before the plane took off. I WAS HUNGRY and didn't get anything to eat.

4. I had a n aisle seat with the other three guys on this trip in my row. It took the enitre middle row of the aircraft. I offered my seat to Bob, because he is of a larger size than anybody else on the trip. Therefore, I was sitting between Bob and one of the Chris-i -es(? - what ever the plural of "Chris" is). One of the flight attendants came over to us after the doors were closed and asked me if I wanted to move across the aisle and share a row with someone else. I told her I was okay and she then informed me that I was sitting next to a rather large gentleman and asked Bob to move and made me switch seats. So, we were sitting across from the lav. Now I was sitting in front of it... with a stranger.

5. The seat I was in couldn't recline because I had a wall behind me. Lucky for the guy in front of me, his seat reclined about 8 inches. Therefore, I had a headrest in my lap for most of the flight.

6. The airline had individual movies that I could choose from to watch, including Rango and The Green Hornet. I watched both of them. Well, I watched the first half of both of them. The "entertainment" system kept shorting out and would stop working for hours at a time. Also, when they dimmed the cabin, my chair light stopped working, so I couldn't even read.

I love my wife and kids. I miss them and look forward to seeing them in 12 days. I already have a gift for each of my kids.
