Flight to Chicago is delayed for an hour due to weather. But so far, so good. No problems with security, no line, no waits. I even had time for dinner in the restaurant. This trip will be perhaps the first of four; other destinations are likely to include Baltimore, and perhaps the West Coast. Flying […]
