Lemons...
Funny, I was just posting - here in Richmond, VA, about leaving on time.
We did manage to leave on time (which, in hindsight, should have been a clue) but turned around half-way to Cincinnati because the part of the aircraft that cools things off and provides cabin pressurization above 10,000 feet stopped working. We could have flown there below 10,000 feet, if only we'd taken on enough fuel before leaving.
So now I'm forced to sit in a bar at the Richmond airport, waiting on the 3:05 to Atlanta (my beautiful bride, who lived in Georgia while attending high school, tells me it's pronounced "Alanna" - there are no t's in the name of the city), drinking Sam Adams, blogging, and watching football. As I type, the Bears are up 14-7 over the Seahawks. Remember I mentioned that stuff about lemons earlier? :)
I will get to Minneapolis a little later than expected, but it's all good.
I bought a mammoth burger at a little shop down the terminal and walked over here to the Sam Adams bar with it. I asked the bartender lady "Do-I-have-to-buy-a-beer-to-sit-here-and-eat-and-watch-football-and-blog-just-say-yes?" She said "Yes." So I was practically forced to drink this cold delicious Sam Adams draft.
Internet access is free (as in beer - unless you're drinking Sam Adams at an airport bar) at RIC. The website is www.FlyRichmond.com.
Next entry from Minnesota, provided my luck changes...
