Working at DIA

Working at the airport is 100 little dramas every day.  Some passengers (pax) are happy when you can get them on a flight.  Others are angry, distraught, totally pissed off, ..... etc. when you can't.  When a flight is overbooked you try to help them - get them out later.  Some pax play the system and like being on one of those flights - free flights help.  I have seen former bosses, former co-workers, movie stars and US Senators.  Believe me, a movie star who can't get to where they want to go, when they want to go, is not a pretty sight.  Some people believe that we should fly into a blizzard just to get them to their party in Aspen on time!  There will be more on this subject another day.

P.S. I Love You

Becca's friend Rachel had screening tickets so we went to see "P.S. I Love You".  Because we arrived a little late, we were seated in the 2nd row of the theater where you have to lean way back to see the screen (a little hard to focus with my tri-focals!)  The movie was great, we laughed, we cried, we ate our popcorn.  We staggered out after the show because of the awkward positions we were required to keep just to see the huge faces on the screen.   The screening was interrupted when a lady started screaming - the seat in front of her had collapsed when a fellow viewer was leaning back to see the screen.  The paramedics had to come take her out.  It was nice to go to the movies with my daughter!

Atonement

I meet my friends Kathy and Elenna (when she can come) once a month for a girl's day out.  We see a movie, have dinner and go to the quilt guild meeting.  This month Kathy and I went to see "Atonement".    I wasn't sure what to expect.  The movie was excellent, if a bit dark and sometimes confusing with the flashbacks.
