Runaway me

I never thought I'd ever be blogging from an airport. It's kind of interesting. With strangers walking behind me... I know I don't get that many readers, so I doubt any of them will ever read my prose, but still...

I (can't recognize myself) am running away from the cold and the snow. The thermometer said -6F this morning in Missoula. I thought my feet would freeze waiting for them to shut the plane door...
Beautiful flight above Wyoming and Colorado, everything was white. With very thin clouds, the colors were amazing as the sun was rising.
I have been at the Denver International Airport for about 3 hours now, about 2 more to go.
The plains around are white too, the sun is here, but there is a funny haze all around. We can barely see the mountains.
Next step, Miami, where I should arrive at 11 local time. Spend the night in a hotel and tomorrow...yay! Bahamas here I come!!!!
I still can't believe I might be sipping sweet drinks on the beach in 24 hours. It sounds really good to me.

I still have a thought for you all up there in the cold (well I am still in the cold right now anyway...). Hopefully I will have pictures and a computer to publish them really soon.

Not to snow on your parade, though it would be hard to do it where you are, but Wednesday we were told to expect 6-12" of snow, Thursday - 3-6", and today 1-3". So far we have accumulated... drumroll please... A TRACE! Jeez, I hate weatherman. It has to be the only job where we can be completely wrong time and time again and still keep your job. Bah!
