Yawn.....

Right now, I'm sitting in the Cincinnati airport during an "unplanned" 3.5 hr layover!!!

So, I'm bored and decided I'd share my boredom with everyone. Exciting? Yes, I know!!

So, here's the story. I'm traveling to Harrisburg, PA today for this weekend's MagicMeets. Because Trideum has an office close to Harrisburg and I'm the Network Admin for the company, I am going up early and work a couple days in the office. My flight out of Huntsville was scheduled to leave at 7:50am. However, weather delayed the crew coming in last night. And, because the FAA requires a certain amount of rest in a 24 hour period, my 7:30 flight got pushed back to 9:00am. With only a 1 hour layover in Cincinnati originally, this meant that I would miss my connection to Harrisburg. So, I re booked for a later flight out of Cinncy.

But, wouldn't you know it, I get to Cincinnati to find out that my original connection to Harrisburg has been delayed I could have made it. HOWEVER!!!!!...My luggage would probably not make it on that flight!!! So, I basically had to decide....wait 3 hours in Cincinnati or wait 3 hours in Harrisburg?

So, I'm sitting here with about another 45 minutes to kill.

I realised that it had been awhile since I mentioned how my back was doing. Considering the carry-on bags I'm lugging around and the most uncomfortable seats in the world, my back is doing great. I guess I had a small "setback" at the end of last week. Where we live we were able to shoot fireworks on the 4th. So, I did a lot of bending over to light the fireworks. It wasn't till I woke up Thursday morning that I felt any pain. Then combine that with mowing, edging and weed eating the yard on Thursday, the weekend was a little painful. To make matters worse, I spent MANY hours working on sponsorship stuff and sat was too much. However, with the help of some Advil, I was able to get out on Sunday and do just about 1.7 miles. I went with my previous idea of extending my running segments and have to say that I like what I saw.

Well, it's about time to end this "little" post. I hope you feel exceptionally blessed by my sharing of boredom!!

I hope to post over the weekend about MagicMeets, so check back!!

Till Next Time...Take Care!!!
