The Landing in Chicago was uneventful for the most part, but we ran like crazy to make our connection and American Airlines held our connection for us. We had bulkhead seats (7A, 7B) with Tim and Mom scattered throughout the airplane. We got food in American Airlines Bistro Bags. The movie on the flight was one of my favorites ever, Finding Nemo. We crossed the Rocky Mountains and saw the Four Corners. From where we are right now I can see Mesa Verde National Monument and six butts…I mean Buttes. Suddenly all the lectures in Earth Science mkes sense. I just looked onto the wing and saw no gremlin there so all is well on the 737. It’s interesting that all of the geography of the east cost is glacial, while the west coast seems almost volcanic. I haven’t mentioned this yet, but there’s a family behind us (8A-8C) who are traveling to, from what I’ve inferred, Hawaii. The children have been kicking the seat and talking extraordinarily loud.
Example:
Dad: Hey. Look out the window.
Kid #1:
IT’S THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS! ISN’T THAT COOL, DAD? ROCKY MOUNTAINS! WOO! WHERE’S THE DVD?
It’s cloudy over Arizona. In the distance I can see a snow covered peak, but the name seems to elude Dad and I. Also this from the seat behind us:
“GRAND CANYON! WOO! WE SAW THE GRAND CANYON! DON’T YOU JUST WANT TO BEAT US TO DEATH WITH YOUR CARRY-ON LUGGAGE?” Wait, that last part was me. My bad. The Grand Canyon from 32,000 feet looks like an enormous crack that you would find in a sidewalk. But it’s still amazing. The plane turned so the people on the other side could see it and now I’m more than likely to throw up everywhere. We’re less than an hour away. Landing was fine. More Tomorrow
Michael: So, you’re like bi? What about Ashley?
Nathan: I do love Ashley…
Michael: Well marry her then
Nathan: I think I will do that. I have to break off the engagement, though. Is that OK with you?
Michael: It will hurt for a while, but I’ll get over it.
(Nathan Leaves. Michael Sits)
Michael: Well I wonder who’s next in the parade of fiancés. Hey, who’s the blonde over there talking to Nathan.
Marten: That would be me, loverboy.
Michael: *gasp* *faint*
Tomorrow: “The Tourists in the Lobby” The first two full days at Grandma’s house.
