I am in the Phoenix airport waiting for my flight to leave to Newark so I can make my way to Brooklyn.  Had kind of a strange experience here at "Americo's" in the Phoenix airport.  I got to catch part of the Winter Olympics show.  It was kind of strange to be sitting among a bunch of strangers silently watching a bunch of acrobats create a dove out of their bodies.  I'm just not used to silence in a airport lounge.  People were mesmerized by the tv.  Even dazzled by Pavarotti's opera number which I thought would have at least gotten yawns from a few of the members of the diverse crowd. 

 

I just started reading Tolstoy's "War and Peace" on this trip.  I wonder if I will muster up the energy to read more on the next flight or just try to grab some z's.

 

Also, I give my blessing to this airport for providing free WIFI.  May other airports take note.
