Living in the hub

Sometimes it can be great to live in a place that people happen to stop by or pass through.  With a couple of big airports around, it's not strange for someone to be around for a quick stop.  It doesn't always work out that I get to meet up with people, like when Stacy was stuck overnight at Newark. Newark was just a bit too far and my schedule was just a bit too tight for us to get together. That stunk because she was so close, but we just couldn't make it happen. Today was nice because Dad and Mom happened to have a layover for several hours at JFK.  And I happened to be on the train back from Long Island this afternoon which passed right by JFK.  So I was able to meet up with them and have coffee for an hour or so before they had to go on their way. It was great!
