Another rainy night at the airport

I write this entry from the Delta Shuttle terminal at LaGuardia Airport in NYC.  I was supposed to be on a 7:30 pm shuttle up to Boston and in my hotel and sleeping by 9:30.  Well it is 9:30 right now, and I am still here. My cell phone died, so I can not call my house to let Bonnie know.  I sent her an email, but who knows if she will see it tonight?  I used to get really upset by this sort of thing, but I don't know if I am getting older or am just so desensitized, to the point where I just don't care anymore.  It is a fact of life that air travel in the east coast during summer stinks!  The thunderstorms roll in and airports close.  This particular ground closure has been going on for almost 3 hours which is unusual, but what can we do.  I wish the airlines would just put you up in a hotel and put you on the first flight out in the morning, but we all know they don't do that unless their is mechanical trouble.  So instead you wait at the gate area for news.

The food choices here are abysmal. Why can't they have healthy food at airport gate areas?  They have no problem getting alcohol here.  I can diet all week long at home, a good two day road trip with some delay time at the airport shoots that all to heck.  Anyway, let me sign off before I start ranting and raving. Oh BTW, if you can get your hands on the June issue of SC Magazine, have a look at the group tests this month.  I will leave you with that ;-)
