Another thrilling Houston Adventure

Two weeks later Bone Marrow Bob was back in Houston. There are no pictures this trip. I did take one of him in the jacuzzi in my room next to the bed but you will have to use your imagination. The photo is lost in the ether world, which is probably best. This trip went a little better than the last. I had to get the flight off the Tarmac in Dallas. Needless to say there were 144 passengers that were glad Bob was on their flight. Bob decided to spend the night because it sounded better than getting home at 3 am. Should have, would have been a good idea if the driver hadn't dropped BMB at the wrong hotel.Don't even ask how he got to the right hotel,which shall remain nameless unless you want a fancy room with a tub by the bed. Probably the last trip to Houston for a while.

the courier trip from hell

Every once and a while you encounter a bad trip. Its bound to happen, like a sore tooth or getting pick pocketed(another story but fortunately BMB doesn't have pockets in his suit).  So a one day turn around trip to Houston, in by 1:30 home by5:30, turned into a 12 hour nightmare. Flight home was delayed and involved several hours in Bush International where American Airlines is a blip in the the terminal(i.e. few food, bars and conveniences). Everything shuts down by 8:00pm. Fine, get home and wait on the tarmac for 3 hours for a gate. No food or water. Finally around 1:00am they passed out granola bars and a cup of water. What about those cookies in first class, not to mention the booze they must have on board. Then again, that is a non issue since Bob doesn't drink when on the job. Thanks to Patty, my favorite lab rat, for giving me a smile through the rain.Next time Bone Marrow Bob will get a hotel room!
