When you are anticipating going home, nothing is more depressing than having to sit in an airport rather than going home. I wondered if the weather was really that bad in Atlanta or what sort of blizzard may be spinning through Cleveland. Turns out, neither was happening. The delay was all due to a power outage at Hopkins (Power Outage).
Imaging the boredom Jeff must be enduring, I occupied my mind trying to come up with ways for him to entertain himself. I started off very lame with things like counting the people to walk by. I slowly got more creative, thinking he could do any of the following to help pass the time.
1. Count all the Nike, Puma, and Adidas sneakers that walk by and see who wins.
2. Buy a giant bag of Starburst. Much like power hour, try to eat a Starburst every minute for an hour. It will start off very easy, but become painful by the 60th.
3. Rate all the women who walk by on the scale of 10 to -10, how they compare to me!
4. Make a list of 20 things that you love about me.
5. Even easier, make a list of 20 things I do that annoy you.
6. Cut out letters from a newspaper and make them into a nice letter for someone.
7. Run laps around the terminal you are waiting in. See how far you can get.
8.Drink ten bottles of water and see how long you can hold it before you have to use the bathroom.
9. Eat at least one piece of food (or more) from each food vendor in the entire airport.
10. Or, just take a nap.
Luckily for Jeff, he did not need to use my stupid list. He was informed about an hour later that their flight was officially cancelled because of the power outage. They would be spending another night in chilly Atlanta. It may be much further south than Cleveland, but it is currently not any warmer.
