I got on a standby flight and made it to Newark early. Doing a calculation, I would have made it on the later (2:50) flight but with just five minutes to spare. Of course, all I got to do on my $7.95 WiFi ticket was do a blog entry and look at one or two more webpages.
Now I am sitting at the ticket counter where we are supposed to meet and where there are no chairs. I thought there were some outlets here but they seem to be in severe disrepair — they are loose within the box. Providing sufficient outlets for laptop users is definitely something airports need to improve on.
I just put one of the little icon buttons RC gave me. I think it has an icon of St. Peter. Maybe this will identify me to members of the pilgrimage before Fr. Stravinskas makes it here.
Well, off to read email and perhaps search for a power outlet I feel comfortable using ...
Update: Eric IM'd around 5 that everyone had arrived and they were all schmoozing vigorously; then the boarding call came!
