    About 15 years ago, as a young, dumb country boy from central Alabama on his first long trip, we had to reroute through Cincy because of fog in Montgomery early that morning. It was there where I encountered my first moving walkway, an interesting machine. You could walk really fast on those things. Until you didn't account for that sudden decrease in velocity when you step off.

    Yep, flat on my face. Right in the middle of a crowded airport.

    You could go there and make fun of me.

    Tell everyone in listening distance that you're Carson Palmer's sister. Entertaining conversation certainly to ensue.

    Coffee,

    No pics, I'm sorry to report. But you can imagine it. A wide-eyed country bumpkin staring at the big, pretty lights. The 5-6, 130-pound high schooler steps off the moving walkway and face-plants.

    You'll be bored stiff. I know you're the president of the Atlanta Airport Sucks Foundation, but at least that place has diversions.

    For a two and a half hour layover, read the Cincinnati Enquirer. Then for the other two hours and twenty-six minutes...

    BK will have Cinnaminis, which are to die for.

    Damn, IJAG. If I didn't have a dental appointment at 9, I'd come out and be company. On the other hand, how 'bout a scavenger hunt? The airport chief admin, Ted Bushelman, has this geeky little pencil mustache that has amused me for years. BRING ME THE MUSTACHE OF TED BUSHELMAN!!!
