100 Business Days Out: Day 58 - Highs and Lows

We redeyed into Boston this morning. We do this to not lose a day even though it just becomes more and more brutal on our bodies. With this enlongated break it didn't make much sense to do it, but with Louie flying under the seat with us, we thought it best for him to sleep the night through. He slept like a baby, or like a dog, whichever. We didn't sleep a wink. When we landed at Logan we weren't allowed to have Louie out of a crate or bag because they use canines for drug and bomb sniffing so I had to take him outside and sit on a bench while Patti waited for the bags. While I was sitting there at the departure level I noticed that the airport is a place of high and lows. When you travel on business you never take the time to notice what is going on around you. I was able to sit and watch the people dropping people off with tears in their eyes and watching people meet those who just came in with smiles and excitement. It's a place of the highest highs and the lowest lows. And then there are the business travelers who are there in between. No one to drop them off or meet them. Just like workers going to their job. No emotions just routine. With a little more observation the aiport can tell many great stories...stories of lost and found love, stories of excitement and stories of sorrow. It's the whole human nature story right in front of us while we depart and arrive. It's worth the watch next time you are waiting. There are many stories to see and you will see the highs and the lows of people.
