This evening I’m flying out of Tampa to Boston. I have a great opportunity with my job to work in Boston for the week at a pretty special event. I’ve been told it’s “confidential” – you know Corporate America and their security. Anyway, I’m super pumped. Not just anyone gets to take these trips and very seldom does someone in my position get to travel for business. Needless to say I feel pretty excited and special.
What doesn’t make me feel special is how late the airline is running today. My flight was supposed to depart at 6:30pm. Now, to the best anyone can guesstimate, it will leave Tampa around 8:40pm. Um, that’s ridiculous – delayed over 2 hours? Really? Are you kidding me?
So back to feeling special. I was sitting down just waiting for my flight and a “celebrity” sits down about 10 chairs away from me waiting on his flight to NYC. It was none other than Nate Berkus. Some of you may be asking who. He’s an interior designer who’s gotten a lot praise from the Oprah. And these day’s that praise will get you the nomination (apparently). All jokes aside. He seemed pretty cool with the recognition he was getting from all the ladies. One lady that would’ve loved to talk to have seen him is my lovely wife Jen. She would’ve been pumped.
So for now – more waiting.
ps: While writing this I’ve been listening to the new Sigur Ros on imeem.com. It’s perfect background music for blogging at the airport, people watching, and just waiting, more waiting.
You think this Berkus guy would come by and do some charity work? I’m not saying, I’m just saying…
sweet celebrity sighting! Erin, my 12 year old sister in law has a friend named jack bauer…does a celebrity character naming count for anything?
ps…loved that you called her ‘the Oprah’
Ooh, if celebrity names count, I know a Harrison Ford, Michael Jordan, and Dudley Moore!
Sorry, I hate to comment under a post and not talk about the post. I noticed that you changed the header on the blog homepage. I’m hoping that this is a sign of things to come. I’ll stay tuned.
