Early

Brian picked us up at 6:45 and we took the uneventful ride out I-84 to PDX. Of course, my brain is racing... "what did I forget, did I turn off the stove?, do I have my passport?". You know, the normal circulating mental trash.
Anyway, walked into the airport, right up to the Delta (acronym for delta.. "Doesn't Ever Leave The Airport") counter, checked in... checked in the bags. Then we disrobed and cleared the metal detectors, managed to put a smile on our collective faces, and are now sitting at Star*ucks sucking down a java.
Hurry up and wait.
7:48 and our flight to the Twin Cities leaves @ 09:00.
We wait...
