Airport

"You're late."

Yeah, I was coming back from Rutgers on this cold night and I decided to swing by the girls college and see if there was any lonely tail wandering around."

"I would be so proud of you if I thought for a second that was true."

Had to pick my old man up from the airport after Knightbeat last night, but his plane got stuck on the runway for a bit, and the cops wouldn't let me park so I just kept driving around. About my third time around I realized that the main road at Newark Airport is really just a bit oval...bit like a racetrack. But without another car to race I could only race against the clock. So I set the stopwatch on my wristwatch (first time I ever used that) and took off at about 70mph. I even dropped the Pontiac into Manual and took advantage of the tap-shift (second time I ever used that). My best time was 1:04. Which isn't bad, but isn't great. Next time you're there try and beat it, but remember Port Authority is on the lookout for suspicious activity, unless of course you're not Arabic and then you really don't have to worry about it.

I'm a bit bored, and don't really have a "big" entry prepared for today or tonight. I haven't had many comments here lately (or ever come to think of it). So in an attempt to come up with a major entry and some comments in the next few days I'm going to offer you a unique opportunity.

Ask me anything. Anything. And I'll answer honestly. Swear. You can ask me anything you want, just tag a comment on the bottom of this entry asking me whatever you want and letting me know who you are. If you know me and don't want to post your name, at least give me a hint. If you don't know me then why not post your name, a name only lets me know what people call you, not who you are. So ask me anything...or don't. All the same for now.

Back in a bit.

"It's 10 degrees out."

"Could be worse."

"How so?"

"Could be 9 degrees out."

(bemused grin) "You know I really expected more out of you on that one."

"Me too, but I think I burned myself out with all those Air Ethiopia jokes back in Terminal B."
