Suebob's Red Stapler: BlogHer in 100 words

BlogHer in 100 words

I staggered up to the security checkpoint at JFK airport on swollen ankles, freighted under the weight of carry-on luggage and the massive cheese strudel I had eaten at Zabar's Deli that morning.

There was no one ahead of me in line. The airport was so empty that it looked as if it were closed for renovations.

I handed my ID and boarding pass over to the security guard.

"Is it always this slow on...um...er...Tuesdays?" I said uncertainly.

"Mondays," he replied. "Today is Monday. That must have been some weekend."

"Yes it was. Yes, yes, it was."

TwoBusy said...: Outstanding. And I know exactly what you mean... the time-space continuum is feeling rather slippery this week.; 12:32 PM
nonlineargirl said...: Goodness, if I had thought you had the stapler with you I would have asked for a photo op. As it was I enjoyed meeting you.

I noticed the airport was eerily quiet on Monday too. Guess that's why the customer service agent thought it was okay to tease me that he'd have to charge me the $25 bag fee for each of the 3 flights on my trip home. Good thing I noticed him smiling or I might have lost it. Too tired to think.; 2:07 PM

Also, this is the first time since 2006 I didn't have my picture taken with the red stapler. And I spent like six hours in a row with you.

Weird.; 4:14 PM
