Denver, Colorado

While I was sitting around the gate waiting for the inevitable rush to get on board, the girl sitting by me noticed me fidgeting with my iPod and told me she had bought one a week ago but couldn't figure out how to make it work. This confused me quite a bit, since it's basically take it out of the box and plug it into your computer... and the directions are pretty explicit. Anyhow, I don't know if she was expecting me to give her my "are you really asking me this" look or if she was expecting that to open up a conversation where I flirted with her - but she got the former. I was polite, and tried to walk her through what needed to be done, then went right back to fidgeting with my iPod to check the score from the gold medal game.

When she got up, I noticed she was wearing pink pants with something written across the butt - as is the style these days, I guess. Sorry, I didn't read it.

When I got on the plane, it was still 1-2 and there were 3 minutes left. I sat on the tarmac for about 40 minutes... just outside of wireless range... before we moved on to flight 2/9 - Tucson.
