Now at the Calgary International Airport. First of all, the lady at the check-in counter told me that Air Canada overbooked their flight which means I do not have a seat and will have to wait at the gate for them to tell me if there is any space available for me. What the hell […]
As I type this blog entry, I am 4 days and 50-something minutes away from flying to New York City. I am excited, happy, indifferent and meh about this trip. The past month has been a really, really tough month for me. As you’ve noticed, I did not post anything for more than a month when […]
