Conclusion--
The build up is generally better than the payoff, and well, quite frankly, in the spirit of inferior sequels I'll simply state that yes, we did get put on another plane and landed safely in DC a little before midnight. I generally consider it a success if we can land before the next day. This was no exception. That's it. I mean, I just don't have the energy to try to present a wide story arc that is both fresh and funny detailing our miss adventures in the airport as we explored other terminals, sampled some fine airport cuisine, drank overpriced beer, read trashy magazines, people watched, listened to our i-pods, finally board the plane only to sit on the runway for 45 more minutes because of a log jam of airplanes, panic about our luggage, pay too much for taxi fare and finally roll into our own bed and sleep, only to forget to turn off our cell phone alarms that were set way too early. Compelling reading this is not. Yet I continue to write on, to stretch the boundaries of boredom on my eternal quest....
Gentle readers, thank you for your patience.
Oh, and we got the free tickets.

Oh, you. I think it is a compelling story to tell. All of the discoveries we made in the airport... While we didn't run into Matlock in ANY of ther terminals it still had it's high points. Consider the 15 hour therapy session: we definitely decompressed about the trip between the breaks of beer drinking, people watching, and learning about the lives of celebrities. Wait..you're right. We shouldn't tell people about this ever. We are total losers.
Give your audience what we want: Did you get the free tickets in the end or what?
I added that yes, we did get the tickets.
That blows. Has your luggage returned yet? Or is it lost in some terminal in Atlanta?
beer, people watching, and celeb gossip. sounds like a good way to spend time anywhere! what, did i just add myself to the loser list?
