Listen. I was able to get up at 4 this morning to be ready for my 5 o'clock cab to get me to the airport in time to board your plane. The least you could do would be to have a plane ready to go. You know?
Getting impatient,

ps: I take this all back because you got me there on time. I still love you.
Man, being stuck at the airport really sucks.
Worse was that I was actually on the plane when we were asked to get out. No crew. Blah.
The good news is that I'll still get in early enough, and there's wifi. Sweet, sweet wifi. (PS: it has the upload speed of a turtle, and that's being kind.)
So my flight to Webvisions was delayed nearly 2 hours, and then sat on the runway for 1.5 hours. A huge pain in other words.
When our plane pulled up at the departure gate, then, we were happy to see it. People came off the plane in huge packs (I never really noticed this happened) and then, well, there were two guys who took a moment to stand near the door and talk with the United employee at the little desk.
I looked at him, really looked at him and thought, "Gee, he looks familiar." Because he did. He had a couple inches on me, had a lot of lines on his face, grey curly hair, and was just wearing a grey t-shirt and shorts. I made eye contact with him for more than a few moments and gave him a smile, just to be nice. The two men then walked right next to me on the way out of O'Hare.
I looked around to see if anyone else recognized the guy, or was making phone calls. Indeed, one woman to my right was making a call. So I pulled out the phone and left a message for Jeani (our phone line was having problems.)
After I made the call, the woman said to me, "You know, I think we're the only two who even knew who that was." I said, "Yeah! I think so!"
It was George Wendt. You might remember him as TV's Norrrrmmmm! There he was, getting off a regular ol' United flight from Grand Rapids.
The year of meeting celebrities continues!
