Sometimes you wake up with an unwavering feeling that something about today will be epic or extraordinary. Today was one of those days.
The plan for the day was simple: Trademark class at 10, where Dave and I would do one last practice argument. Then Crim Pro at 11. Head to the airport for a 4:00 flight to LaGuardia. Check into the hotel. Prep, and hit the sack early for the competition tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Madre Nature-o had other ideas.The day began at 7:00. I woke up and looked outside. While there was still plenty of snow leftover from last weekends snowstorm, no new flakes were falling. I emailed Dave, and we decided we would go to class. By 9:00 it was starting to come down hard. But it wasn't sticking yet...we had some time.
We mooted for the TM class. All was going well. By 11, the snow was starting to stick, so we decided it would be best to head to the airport and try to get an earlier flight. Got there safely, parked the car. As we are standing waiting for the shuttle to the terminal, Dave gets a voicemail. Our flight has been cancelled. We get to the terminal, to see if there's anything they can do. Fortunately, there are two seats on a different flight headed to JFK that is still running. We'll take em!
After initially questioning the validity of our transfer, the Delta people confirmed that we did in fact have seats on the plane.
A crisis has been averted. It is currently 2:00, the flight leaves in about 40 minutes. Something tells me the drama of today is far from over...
An update and more to come later!
