Amazing at 22,000 feet!

Whenever I am on my computer, I multi-task. Mostly reading articles, typing this up, and chatting on IM. So, it is pretty much a given that my AOL instant messenger is always logged on while I am on the computer. As I sat down tonight to type up my blog, this was no different.

I typed my first word and became immediately distracted. I am a very good multi-tasker, but I was completely taken off guard tonight. My computer chimed and I had an instant message from Jeff. But how? Jeff is supposed to be in the air, flying back to Cleveland from Chicago. To my surprise, and amazement really, his plane had wifi.

We got onto video chat and were able to see and hear each other. Well, Jeff didn't say much since he was surrounded by the rest of the people on the flight. He'd be the crazy man talking to his computer. With his sound canceling Bose headphones, I was hearing more of the hum of the plane than he was.

What a beautiful view, right? It's just so much better to see his face. The one sided instant message is how Jeff was responding when I asked in depth questions. I was doing my best to ask yes-no questions, but that is tough once you get past 7 years of age.

Anyways, the moral of the story is that my amazing husband was able to pull off a pleasant surprise while he was 22,000 feet in the air. Imagine all that he can do when he is on the ground!
