The end of the journey is near

As I usually manage to do, I got on the security line behind the elderly Eastern European woman who is taking her first flight ever and is trying to take every piece of metal she owns with her through the security line.
Grandma filled up three bins of stuff. She had everything but the family silverware.
The trip to Gate 21 has so far featured an escalator down, a long hallway with two moving walkways (for safety and convenience, please stand on the right and walk on the left) and another escalator up. I’m not sure I’m still in Massachusetts.
At the top of the final escalator was a Dunkin Donuts with a line of 40 people. Seriously, 40 people at 4:40 a.m. I’m glad I don’t drink coffee. Meanwhile, Famous Famiglia Pizza was serving breakfast. The offerings included an egg, cheese and sausage stromboli. There was a medical team standing by to perform bypasses for anybody who needed one.
I went with the cranberry juice.
Every airport looks the same. You could be in Seattle, Boston or Dallas. Same stores, same CNN on TV, same everything.
I’m semi-coherent. I can’t be responsible for what I type at this point.
Aww, Pete. You listed two RF’s again.
Safe travels….
Hope you get some sleep, Pete.
Thanks for trying to get our minds off of the Yanks’ weekend.
Ah, so you’re a Pats fan.
Obviously, I can’t root for the Pats because I’m a Dolphins fan but I don’t hate them either – unlike most Dolphins fans.
Frankly, I’ve always rooted for Tom Brady because I’m also a diehard Michigan Wolverine fan. I have to root for Michigan alums in the NFL and Brady was the most underrated QB in college football when he was there.
Not surprised he turned out to be a good quarterback in the NFL – although nobody could have expected a modern day Joe Montana.
True story, Drew Henson (the former Yankee farmhand) really pushed Brady for playing time when he was just a freshman. That kid was an unbelievable talent but chose the wrong sport when he saw Big George waive his bag of money at him.
Anyways, yeah I like Bess a lot. The guy works his ass off and he’s got great hands. Very quick in open spaces and was their second best receiver last year after a couple of guys went down and Ted Ginn (formerly of the hated Ohio State Buckeyes) continued to play like Ted Ginn.
Spring games in college ball and the NFL Draft always has me itching for football at this time of the year. Can’t wait to see the new pups in action.
Cranberry juice? What is it, your period?
You don’t drink coffee, but you pound red bulls? No wonder you’re the size of a blimp.
