Terminal Condition

Sorry not to have posted over the past few days. While traveling to the East Coast on family business I got caught twice in icy, snowy winter weather. Tonight I am on the floor (literally) of NYC's LaGuardia Airport with hopes of flying home before the next storm arrives.

I had to borrow this laptop so I cannot stay online too long!

The place is crowded with many displaced, grumpy people. Lots of humbug happening here!

The entire experience is so destabilizing because the travelers feel so helpless - they have no control over their own (short-term) destiny. 24 hours from now it should all pass and it is likely that we will all be reunited with our families.

Have I mentioned hunger? All of the concessions have closed for the night. That pretzel booth is STARING defiantly at me!

All in all, this is a good exercise in maintaining patience, exhibiting self-control, and demonstrating good will during the holiday season. Tomorrow morning I plan to share my freshly-baked pretzel!

Thanks for your good wishes. Regular blogging should resume soon.
