Pie holes are for shutting

We left the house just before 7am, which got me to the airport with a little extra time. The early arrival turned out well, as the check-in and security lines were unusually long. By the time I got to the gate, I proceeded directly on to the plane. Unfortunately, I sat next to Chatty Cathy. Did you know, she knows Warren Buffet? "Then why are you sitting in Economy class next to me?" I thought. Anyway, she was going to LA for a "romantic" weekend. Her new girlfriend lives there. "I hope you don't get drunk and end up married!" Ok, I didn't say it, but I wanted to. Did I mention she was the CFO of a big bioengingeering firm? They wanted her to misrepresent the company's finances, so she quit. Now imagine, I asked her no questions. I hate talking to people on the plane. Did I already tell you she lives on Tennyson in the Highlands area? Yes, she recommended several restaurants in the area. Thankfully, she finally slept. She was tired, having gone out with her mother the night before.

LAX was a hassle. I had to reclaim my baggage, ride the bus to Tom Bradley International Terminal (wasn't he a basketball player?), then check-in with Korean Air. I walked around the terminal for an hour, since I knew I'd be sitting for the next 12 hours.Read more
