Has anyone else noticed that air travel seems to be getting more and more cumbersome all the time? When was the last time you sat on an airplane with an empty seat beside you? What's up with Denver's airport not having a Starbucks? The last time I checked, we were in the 21st Century after all.
The other day I was flying to Texas to rejoin Jo and Anna and my flight left from DIA out of gate B81. Gate 81??? The highest numbered gate I had ever seen was about 51. How could there possibly be another 30 gates in that direction? Well, at the end of the terminal, there was a secret passageway around the corner that did lead to another 30 gates or so. However, the most exciting part was that right around the corner, there was a Starbucks!!! I knew it was going to be a great day...or so I thought.
As I took the last swig of my 20 oz Venti Latte, the United Airlines gate agent came over the PA system and said, "Houston passengers, please be advised that the lavatories on our aircraft are not working, so please prepare yourself as best as possible for the 2 hour flight." Just when I thought I had experienced everything the airlines could throw my way...
By the way, Jo is doing well. Recovery is slow, but steady. We anxiously await upcoming visits to Dr. Alvarez and Dr. Kelly to get what should be very good status updates.

Tim - I'm sure those two weeks worth of deep breathing exercises helped you through your 2 hour ordeal. You are soo funny! What wonderful news that Jo is doing good. jam
