Locked in at the airport


Locked in at the airport

Originally uploaded by icon tact.

If you arrive at Nashville too late (say, after midnight) you will be greeted with the need for an exit strategy. Recently, while attempting to leave the airport terminal, the security gate area, where exiting passengers must pass through, was gated shut. The nearby cleaning crew said that we needed to get the airport police to come “rescue” us. The only problem: there were no police to be found. We were all tired - it was 1 am after all. Frustration hadn`t officially kicked in yet - it was beginning to simmer just beneath the surface - when out of the blue came a man dressed in blue to help us out of our dilemma. We were all stunned when he reached us and pressed a simple red button which unlocked the gate and allowed us passage. Kind of reminded me of the Staples commercial with the “easy” button.

What a great time to be in Flagstaff. This is a view from the du Bois Conference center at Northern Arizona University. The air is crisp, the sky is blue, and the food great.

This is my favorite place to eat when I`m traveling out west.

Kate’s first music video released

The music video my daughter Kate had a part in is playing now on CMT. The group is Heartland from Huntsville and the song is “I Loved Her First”. You can view it on the CMT website at http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/heartland__2_/artist.jhtml. To view it online, you’ll have to use internet explorer. CMT isn’t up to the new stuff yet.

Kate is the girl with freckles in the middle of the song. Way to go Kate.
