Sooooo. you probably knwo that I travel quite a bit.. you may also know thta I have a repution for haivng a loose grasp of passing time.. Know that, it may surprise you to hear that i’ve never missed a flight due to my own actions..
that is. until today. I checked in for my flight on my way to tSan Fran.. and thoguht I heard that I was taking off at gate 3.. so I sat down abd started working,. an hour and a half later, I realized that my plane.. or at least the plane at gate 3 had not boarded. it was then that I realized that my flight was actually at gate 8. .. which had left 15 min before
D-oh !
so I got on the phoen with united and found another way to get to my destination.. that involved an almost 5 hour delay.. I had time to kill so I walked back to BETA.. THere I realized that there was a blood drive. I managed to get a donation appointnment that would allow me to make myadjusted flight. .. so .. my penance for being a knuckle head.. was an unexpeccted blood donation..
Blood donation is mportant to me now that diane and I can donate again.. the bar of donating if you lived in the UK was removed last year.. I think of Blood donation as bunong one of the few ways you can do an organ donation several times a year.. I do it because its a good thing to do.. nd also in honor of Sam
THe flight was long.. and easy.. flyign is a very prodfuctive time for me.. I got a ton done before landing in San Fran about midnight..
Check out these weird cloud formations I saw from the plane
Nice to be back on the west coast. I’m here for a hackathon.. and very excited to be here !
nite all. nite sam
