It had been an incredibly long week, and suddenly it was over. I had caught a ride from the conference to BWI with a couple of fellow workers at the conference. They needed to get to the airport quickly. I had plenty of time. We said our good-byes at the Southwest Airlines Sidewalk Check-in, and they headed off to catch flights that were leaving in less than an hour.
I just wanted to get to the other side of security and sit down with my digital book and a beer. As I attempted to process my boarding pass, I was informed I couldn't process in until four hours before departure. My flight was scheduled to depart at 8:20PM. It was currently 2:10PM. "Six hours", I thought. I checked at the full-service counter for an earlier flight. Nothing. I looked around and found a bar and grill outside the security area, located an empty booth, and took it. I slowly sipped a dark ale and engaged in some people watching. Some good-looking women were around. I caught an occasional glimpse and a smile here and there, but my mind kept wandering back to the near six-foot tall (in flats) blonde lady I had met the second to the last night of the conference. I had seen her around the conference and even shared a conference table with her and a few others during one of the breakout sessions. I liked her confidence and her rational way of thinking. However, when you are amongst several co-workers and have a goal to meet as a team, there just isn't much "getting to know you" time. The night I really met her, we were in a formal dinner with wine tasting and pairing going on. We happened to sit next to one other, and I'll just say that things clicked. We had an interesting night with each other the last night of the conference, and that story will be told another time. We did exchange contact information afterward and promised to be in touch. She challenged me as we said goodbye to one another. Her challenge was to do something naughty with someone I had not met before. When I had done it, she wanted me to text her what I had done and include a photo, if possible. That is quite a challenge. I reflected on that conversation as I sat in the bar sipping my ale. I wondered how I could accomplish her challenge.
Two hours went by and I checked in. I breezed through security and began to wander the different concourses checking out the different food and beverage places. I finally found one that looked okay and took a seat. I sipped a Bloody Mary and had wings to dampen the hunger and soak up the alcohol. I then decided to check out the gate I was leaving from. Not only had It had changed to another gate, the flight was delayed by almost an hour due to mechanical problems. I found the new gate and checked in again to be sure I was accounted for. The people seemed to be in a fair mood about the situation. I mean, what are you going to do about it? Screaming at the clerk at the counter won't create a new airplane on the flight line. We all waited and chatted among one another as we did.
