bye, bye, plane..........bye, bye..............

Well, I made it back from Denver, despite Frontier Air's best efforts............and my own penchant for beer :-/ I got out of work early and did the tourist-thing in Denver. Took pictures by Mile High Stadium, went down to Union Station and to complete the trifecta, burned my elbow waiting for a Denverite to snap my pic posted up on a statue in front of the Rockies Stadium. Well, then, my sixth sense (aka spidey-sense) picked up on a beer special at the rooftop patio bar across from the stadium (god bless Jackson's bar). Ya-da-da-da.................I'm doing free shots with the two female bartenders, one of which was a self-proclaimed "cougar". Very nice ;-) So, I get to the airport and have a 2 hr wait for my plane. God bless the Sky Blue Bar. Hot dog and beer on special. Sixer of each later...........naw, just a couple. I end up talking to some guy at the bar who turns out to be a Hoosier. Well, had to Boiler-up on him for a bit. I leave to catch my plane and sit down to wait for my boarding. Those of us that know, know that booze and high temps and high altitude don't mix. I get a bit sleepy waiting for my turn to board. Luckily for me, Hoosiers are nice people, just at the wrong college. My newfound buddy woke me up on his way to catch the same flight as me. So, off I am, right? Wrong!!! After taxiing to the middle of nowhere, we turn around and head back to the gate. 45 minutes later, lift off. Everything is now still completely FUBAR as the little kid behind me won't stop kicking my spine loose. I'm not going to lie, when the beverage kart came round, "two beers, please". And I'm against buying beers on planes cause its a total rip off, but its also a sedative ;-) Eventually, things mellowed out and little junior s.o.b came into my row to sit on his grandpa's lap and he was sporting pjs and a pacifier, which made me wonder why I don't travel like that :-P I arrive safe and sound at 1:30am Monday morning, yah!!! Oh, no, no, no. I get home afte 2am, am too wired to sleep and "Beyond the Law" was on t.v. 4am, go to bed, 8am, wake up for work, 10am, time to make the donuts..................
