The Airport Hilton

Long story, short...

After de-icing, slipping and sliding toward the runway to take off, and sitting in the plane being buffeted around in 40mph winds, more sensible heads prevailed and we returned to the gate. "Does anyone want to get off?" Yeah. Definitely me. (Many others unbelievable stayed on in hopes that after another 2 hours in the plane, they would be cleared to fly to NYC.) Me, I'm scheduled for the 4:40pm flight to D.C. tomorrow.

Staying in the Hilton in a $279 room and having an $18 cheese steak sandwich. But, happily, because I'm safe and in a warm, comfortable bed.

To all a good night.
