the news at the gate was grim...the flight is now delayed until at least 10:10. turns out that although local weather is okay, my plane is currently stuck in new york waiting to take off. the lady at the ticket counter offered me an alternative route thru pheonix with a slim 32 minute layover between flights. my dad says 'the name of the game is get out of town' so i went back to follow through, but the lady at the ticket counter advised me against, so i'm waiting it out.
the atmosphere at the gate was unbearable- hot, angry people and cramped conditions. i've chosen to return to the main concourse where i've found i nice cool spot with comfortably upholstered chairs. there is wireless internet, a swinging tray for my laptop, and a power outlet. there is a bar less that 30 feet away, so i'm feeling fine about this spot for a while. i'm a little apprehensive about being this far away from the gate (a five minute walk) but could see little reason for camping out in steerage.
my big concern now is my cold medicine holding out....i'm feeling great for the moment, but these things only last so long. i have some sudafed and a couple of advil, but was mostly worried about needing nasal spray. luckily, and somewhat mysteriously, the little bookstore in the concourse sells it; funny considering you can't bring it past security.
