Good Morning New York

Well, it's about 10:15 and I'm finally getting around to starting my day. Everything was going fine at O'Hare last tonight until we got on the plane. We pulled away from the gate and then sat there for almost an hour, inching up a few feet every 10-15 minutes or so. Finally, the captain came on and said that air traffic was being delayed getting into NY but that we should be on our way soon. About
10 minutes later the engines fired up again and we finally took off. The flight was a little bumpy but not bad, but then when we landed, we had another 20 minute wait because there was another plane at our gate waiting to take off. I find it hard to believe that at 12:15 in the morning there was not one single empty gate at LaGuardia that they could have diverted us to. Finally, around 12:30 we got to the gate and got off the plane, and sure enough, walking through the terminal, there were plenty of empty gates. However, there was one bright spot. I got a glass of wine on the plane, and the very friendly flight attendant gave me a second one for free. So, we didn't get to the hotel until around 1. Then, I had to wake up around 8 to call in sick with a splitting migraine. I laid around but couldn't quite fall back asleep. Fortunately, my companion needed to go online before going to work, so he went ahead and paid for the hotel's wireless, so at 11 I can just log in to ticketmaster here for Idina's tickets and not have to lug the computer to Starbucks. However, I will still stop by right after that to get a pick-me-up on my way to the Bronx Zoo, so be patient guys, I should be there shortly. So, it's time to get ready and get out and enjoy my favorite city.
