Philly

Finding the airport was fun this morning. I think the rule in Portland is to make everything as difficult as possible to find.  Once people get on the right route DO NOT provide helpful signs so that people know they are heading in the right direction.

When I got on the plane the pilots were doing the diagnostic tests with the cockpit door open.  I'm glad they have a helpful computer voice to tell the pilot "pull up, terrain!", but it's the last thing I want to hear when I board a flight.

The in-flight movie was Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which is pretty terrible.  Take a somewhat promising premise, extend it far too long, and throw in as many bland action scenes as you can.  The movie lacks any tension because we know when the movie starts neither of the characters are in any danger.  With that as a forgone conclusion, the only tension is how they resolve it all.  It's not done well here.

I have a connection in Cincinnati where I will probably post this.  I should arrive in Philly around 10 pm EST.  Then I have an hour drive to the hotel. Blah.

The landing was really hard.  I've been on a lot of flights and it wasn't good.  I have no wifi access or mobile access to the internet.  I may die of boredom.
