We love to fly, and it shows

So, today was my first business trip since I got hurt back in September and it was an incredible journey. Let me take you through my day...
9:00 - show up at the gate for a 9:10 boarding time. They announce that there were some maintenance issues and we may or may not board on time. Time for a McMuffin...
9:10 - boarding starts, on time
9:15 - I board seat 20F, an exit row seat that doesn recline. After you read the rest of my day, you'll understand why I was in such misery. I sat in that seat for HOURS today.
9:45 - captain comes on and announces that the logbook has to be updated (it's real important) and that we'll be leaving in 5 or 10 minutes

10:00 - captain comes on and says that we're still updating the log book and it will be a little longer, we're bringing extra juice and coffee on board to compensate

10:15 - sit down, we're getting ready to leave

10:25 - we pull away from the gate

10:30 - "we're 12th in line for takeoff"
10:32 - "the airport is closed due to weather, feel free to get up, stretch your legs, use your approved electronic devices...)

11:45 - we take off

1:05 - we land (1 hour time difference, land 2 hours, 25 minutes late)

1:10 - "the jet bridge isn't working properly, we're going to have maintenance performed on it and we'll be off the plane in a minute"

1:18 - "the jet bridge is apparently owned by the city, they've been called and we're waiting on them to show up"

1:25 - we get to exit via the rear of the plane, yes, the pic below is from my flight today.





1:40 - I get to Avis to get my car, they gave me a kickin Surburban, leather, wood grain, heated seats I can't figure out how to turn off, DVD player. I was really wanting to use the integrated blue tooth, yeah, it has none. Has ALL that stuff and no blue tooth? Man, those are BIG cars, don't think I ever want something that size.

2:30 - 5:00 - worked at the church and left and went by this house. Who used to live there? Post your guess in the comments section. Hint - The house is in Boulder, CO.

The Ramsey house?

Not the Ramsey house. Their house is in Boulder, but much bigger. This is the OTHER famous house in the city.

Holy crapoly! That is the Mork and Mindy house. I'd forgotten what it looks like.
