Stuck in Seattle

Well, as luck would have it, a motherload of snow avalanched onto New York City over the last day and a half which has created all sorts of problems for everyone.

I drove down with Bre Pettis yesterday from Northern Voice. We had some great conversation and I’m sure he and I will be in much more contact over the next coming months. And boy would I be in a real pickle if it wasn’t for him.

Turns out that Jetblue, famous for making me take The Red Eye, was still planning on shipping us back into New York on the 11:35 out of SeaTac (yes, that is the name of the city). I was over at Bre’s for the better part of the day and we worked and talked and spent time configuring our phones - we made an exchange for each others’ phone (don’t you love GSM).

In any event, come 9PM, I check the status to find that it has been delayed for another 3 hours - departing 2:35AM. I know a bad thing when I see it. So I jumped off of that and am not waiting for the flight tonight at 11:35. Big Fun!

So, I’m working at a Starbucks around the corner from Bre’s while he’s off educating our youth.

At least I’m getting back just tired enough to spend Valentine’s with the wife.
