I Kin Do It

So my plane was stuck on the approach to the runway in Philadelphia - number 23 for departure...


I'm on my way to BibleTech in Seattle. My flights are scheduled to go from PHL to Dulles, to Seattle. That's two Washingtons in one day - nice.

I breakfasted at the airport Dunkin Donuts. They have two ad campaigns going right now.
1) America Runs On Dunkin
2) You Kin Do It

The second campaign shows people in impossible situations overcoming them. How? Why - because they have a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee or a donut, or a waffle-sandwich.

I needed to get from my new home airport to Washington DC - Dulles in time to catch the next flight to Seattle, but there are roadblocks. Getting out on the runway and staying there for 40 minutes with the engines shut down so we don't have to go back to the gate to refuel is this particular hurdle.

But - I realized - I still had some Dunkin Coffee. I'm all set I guess.

...maybe it's just me?

tall lasagna

I'm not kidding, this thing is huge.

A recent business dinner brought a party of 7 to Maggianos for family style dining. One of the pasta choices was Mom's Lasagna. Will you just look at the height?

It must be oooh... at least... well... it's tall isn't it!?!?

... maybe it's just me.
