Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
and where am I? Philadelphia. We had our meeting, then lunch with the airport GM, then off we headed to the airport for the return trip to DFW. Little did I know just what a day this was going to turn into. My boss & I were booked on the same return flight; he made it, I didn’t. My short trip to PHL resulted in a 4-hour wait in the small airport bar called “The Old Philadelphia Tavern.” Reasonably priced but too crowded, I whiled away the time swinging between pissed off, depressed & lonely in rapid time. I couldn’t believe that I was spending my wife’s birthday in a tavern in the Philadelphia airport; but such is the glory of work travel, wot?
This officer strode by at a rapid pace several times with his beautiful canine companion at heel. The third time through, I had my camera ready and grabbed the shot. It’s a good thing I did, as I didn’t see him again and I would have remained unhappy about the missed opportunity. When we left the hotel that morning, I inadvertantly locked my camera in the boot of the taxi, so these airport-interior shots were to be my photos of the day. At least this one tells a story.
Cheers.
