This Delay's OK

o, my vacation is nearly over. it was supposed to be over last night, but our flight out of Albany got canceled. That meant, obviously, that we didn't make our connecting flight in Minneapolis. I was prepared to go nuclear, except that our airline--Northwest--was actually fairly awesome about the whole thing. I mean, airplanes are going to have mechanical problems from time to time--even the best maintenance in the world can't stop that. And I'd rather fly today on an airplane with no problems than yesterday on an airplane with minor problems. And besides, Northwest put us up in a badass hotel with a giant bed and paid for our prime-rib buffet dinner. And neither one of us will miss an additional day of work. AND we're flying first class from Detroit to Madison, which might be worth the whole thing in and of itself.

The point is that if we were going to be delayed, this was the best possible way for it to have happened.

See how I look at the bright side? Yeah, I'm awesome.
