So the big freeze is on here in St. Louis. This is the view from the concierge lounge to the airport. No activity over there as of yet. I’m holed up till tomorrow where I have a flight at 8:35am and then my next one at 2:45pm. I get home at 6:00pm. Lucky me. But I am making the best of t. I purchased some internet access so I could have something to do and I’m going to be productive on the aStore. The Sales guy who was traveling with me had an airport adventure this morning. He’s now staying at my hotel, we’ll probably grab dinner somewhere tonight. Although we are both, sans vehicle.

I’m hanging out down in the atrium area, they have these mirrored tables and cast iron chairs, they are cold and a mirrored table does not allow an optical mouse to work properly, just an FYI.

The ice is not melting very quickly but the sky is now blue. We shall see what tomorrow brings.

I could always check on what Stephen the Dog is up to. I think that Stephen the Dog should throw a link to the BenSpark on his site and also a link to Dog Eat Doug, that would go well with the theme of Stephen the Dog‘s site.

Stuck in St. Louis…

Well it has finally happened to me. After 5 years of Travel, the weather got the best of me. I am stuck in St. Louis at the Marriott Airport. American Airlines cancelled my morning flight and rebooked me on a flight on Saturday. I contacted our travel department and the could get me out tonight on another airline and then connect me through Charlotte. The layover is 35 minutes. No thank you. I am not going to run through another airport and barely make a flight. Making the connection is contingent upon getting out of St. Louis on time, and with the weather I am not going to risk that at all. I’m stuck here but I have concierge level access and therefore can use the internet in the concierge room. So I am going to make use of it. At least until noon when I will get Internet in my room for the day. Maybe I’ll make some additions to the new BenSpark aStore.
