Things You Notice While Driving to the Airport
I arrived at LGA and now I am sitting by the AA terminal, waiting for boarding time, which is in about 30 minutes. Those who track Twitter know that I was doing billing, payroll and other misc RustyBrick stuff last night until around midnight. When I got home, I had several things to do before my flight in the morning, the one I am waiting for now. For some reason, I couldn't sleep - so I feel a bit weird right now. As if I am not typing, but I know I am typing - blogger weirdness....
So as I connect via my treo over EVDO on my MacBook Pro I figured I tell you about my trip in.
I live in Rockland and I had to go to LGA this morning.
I leave Rockland, get on the NYS Thruway. There are like no other cars on the thruway, so the merge was incredibly easy - being that I was too tired to pay attention to up coming traffic - it worked out fairly well. I then merged onto the Palisades Parkway, to find myself worrying about cops. So I drove at a steady speed of (wont say) as I spot cop after cop hiding. I reach the George Washington Bridge tolls, where again, no traffic - because of it being Sunday. I cross over the bridge - I actually took note of the sunrise (how romantic). I being to pick up speed, I head over the Cross Bronx Expressway. I then spot a flashing lights ahead of me, two lanes blocked off. As I pass, I notice a Lexus LS with a smashed in hood and no other cars around it - besides for the tow truck and police car. I pass the accident, thinking - wow that must be expensive. I head onto the Triboro Bridge, nothing out of the ordinary. Get to LGA, park my car, and go to the airport.
Here I am.
People seem to be complaining that there is a booked flight. OK. I notice several other people that appear to be on this flight. But I keep typing as if I don't see them. The plane just arrived, they appear to be cleaning it. The pilot seems to be here. So I guess we board in 15 minutes or so.
I will be in St. Louis, yes the place with the The Largest Amoco Sign I Have Ever Seen, until Thursday morning. I will be off the Search Engine Roundtable Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. Same with Search Engine Land and this blog.
Speak to you all when I land... Happy April 1!
