6 1/2 Hour lay over = boring

Its 6:24 pm on Tuesday, June 3rd and I'm sitting in the Fort Lauderdale airport. I've been here for over three hours so far, and I've got another three to go. I know some of you are thinking "That doesn't sound so bad." Don't take this the wrong way, but you're insane. Let me paint you a picture. There are people. Tons of people, many of them are angry because they are on their way home from vacation. There are crying babies, there are loud announcements every 17 seconds, there is one restaurant. I can't leave this concourse due to FAA regulations. It could be worse, could be raining (cue thunder). On the upside there is free internet. And in 8 hours I'll be in Lima. I still have no real idea what I'll be doing or where I'll be doing it but hopefully I'll be going to the office this week to figure that out. In the meantime I think I'll eat a hamburger that has been sitting under a heat lamp for at least an hour. Oh, I love airports.

p.s. What is the over/under on seasons before the new Pistons coach gets fired?

The Piston's new coach will get at least two years - long enough to bring along the new, young talent.
