I'm sorry to report that this is not your high-on-chai report from the airport. There will be no high-on-chai report this semester due to the continued lack of chai at the school coffee shop. I apologize for this temporary lapse in service. Here, have an Airport Anecdote instead:

I made it to the airport with only my carry-on-- everybody is charging for any checked baggage these days. Bunch of tightwad cheapskates. It was really nice not to have to wrangle a suitcase, though. My flight was really late, it turned out, and I’d miss my connecting flight through Phoenix. I put on my best wide-eyed, hopeful smile and the nice ticket counter people fell all over themselves getting me on a connecting flight through Philadelphia instead. Once I made it through Security, boarding started before you could say “Emotional manipulation of customer service is amazingly effective!” Made it home without major incident, even though there was a huge traffic jam on the Philly runway and we sat there for an hour after the arriving flight was half an hour late. Stay gold, traffic control! There was also some amazing turbulence over the Midwest, but I convinced myself we weren't going to die and kind of enjoyed it.
