Tuesday at TPA...




It’s 3:05 PM, Tuesday afternoon. We’re at the Tampa International Airport; Valerie is walking around getting what exercise she can, and I’m sitting here at a table with the computer, “making the magic happen”. Our flight leaves in an hour and fifteen minutes, and this trip officially comes to a close.

We spent the morning computer shopping with my father-in-law. His computer is reaching the end of its life and he needs something that will actually work when you want it to… and I wish that I had known he was going to be needing to upgrade, because I would have loved to have spent a day transferring files and settings to the new toy, and then teaching him how to use it. Mundane, perhaps, but I kinda like mundane for some applications. As it is, he’ll have to have the store where he’s buying it do the “idiot work”, and unlike me – they charge for the service. Give me an iced tea every now and then and I’m happy as a clam!

After that we stopped at the International Mall where Valerie did a little browsing, and picked up a few things at a couple of stores that they don’t have in Boise. I looked in the Apple Store, something they finally did get in Boise.

So now we sit in the airport, waiting for the flight which is supposedly on-time. We’ll see how well things go once we get to Denver and have to wait a couple of hours for our connecting flight!
