It is about 6pm. I have been in Midway airport since about 2:30 pm. I should've left on a flight to Tulsa via St. Louis at 4:45pm. It didn't. I has been delayed many, many, many times. The airport sucks balls and is totally crowded (which may have to do with its inability to allow me to enjoy anything about it right now, oh yeah that and the delayed plane. In fact the only worse airport to be stuck in at this moment is probably O'Hare where Southwest does not fly.
However, I just received good news as I started to type this rant blog. The good news is that our plane, coming in from Pittsburgh is in the air! Midway and the FAA have serious restrictions on planes they are letting come here, so if it is on the way, it should (oh please oh please oh please dear deity) land here, and then we get on it and then we get to St. Louis and then to Tulsa all before midnight. Although it turns out that I may not have needed to take off work today anyway. I guess I just wanted to hang out at an airport ALL DAY AND NIGHT.
OK, that's all. I hope all of your holiday travel adventures are nicer (right about now Sally and Dave are very, very glad they killed theirs early and I cannot say that I blame them).

Oh, honey, how frustrating. I hope you get on that plane and fly away to the glories of a Tulsa Christmas.
I just flashed on last December 30, when I was sitting in a plane in Minneapolis, having just spent the last 11 hours behind a guy who clearly hadn't washed for days and watching the Home Security escort for the EMT's as the father of the sick little girl in the back of the plane said "she was vomiting." The HS officer's eyes bugged out and Dave leaned over to me and said, "I bet they quarantine us." I would have killed someone at that moment if they told me I was going to have to spend any more time in that small space behind Mr. Stinky. So believe me when I say that I feel your pain.
