Mid morning I headed to the airport\u2026 Which in Houston is an hour away. The city is both deeply familiar and all new. I spent so much of my youth here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inside of the airport is all shiny and new, but the outside is still the same as it was 50 years ago when I first started coming here\u2026 Can’t believe it’s been that long<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got on the plane and classic Houston\u2026 Humidity was so high when the AC came on the whole plane filled up with what look like smoke\u2026 It was actually fog. I was sitting next to a really nice woman from Merida Mexico\u2026 She didn’t speak any English and she was asking me about what was going on in my pretty rusty Spanish. I told her about the steam\u2026 We ended up talking the whole trip, which was pretty good for my language exercise for the day. She was really cool. She was a lawyer just going to see her daughter who lives in Pennsylvania. It was good that we were on here because we were very late getting out because of weather in Chicago and she was going to miss her flight, but so we were gonna try to find her somebody to speak to Spanish too, but it turns out that the wheelchair person who came to get her spoke Spanish so that was great\u2026 Also the guy to my right in the seat spoke Spanish because he was from Peru so we all had a pretty good conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a two stop return\u2026 I had to go to Chicago and then go to Dulles\u2026 The flight out of Dallas was super super late and kept getting later\u2026 I’ve got Two meal vouchers and but had already eaten so I bought a whole bunch of candy and started handing it out to the people who’ve been waiting for a couple of hours\u2026 It was really fun. People seem to like it.<\/p>\n


glad to get home even if it was wicked late
