In Dulles Airport on the way to Kuala Lumpur

I am waiting to board my flight to SF to Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a six-day work trip.  After so much work travel in the last month, this is the last work trip before our trip to Texas for the adoption hopefully later this month.  So far, the day has been easy and smooth - got to the airport way too early but that's the way I like it.  Of course, since I was so early, everything went smoothly and now I'm just in waiting mode.  Two funny things I saw this morning.  First, on the "mobile lounge" that takes you from the main terminal to the international departure terminal, a man got on the mobile lounge wearing dark glasses and I assumed he was blind (his glasses were totally dark and it was so early that it was still dark outside).  I was thinking how courageous he was for being able to make it across the crowded mobile lounge vehicle despite his disability.  He slowly made his way to the front of the vehicle and opened the driver's door and got in -- it turned out he was the driver!  I guess he wasn't blind after all and he just likes wearing dark glasses!  Second, saw a guy wearing a United Airlines flight attendant uniform and he looked exactly like the guy in the movie "Bridesmades" in that scene where  the female lead tries to sneak into First Class and keeps referring to him as "Stove" instead of "Steve."

I'm listening to Pandora radio and am embarrassed to admit I'm listening to the Taylor Swift station.  I know the music probably has few redeeming virtues but it's the kind of mindless brain candy that my brain can handle this early in the morning.  Once I wake up, I can switch to one of my other stations.

Ok - signing out now.  Will check in again later.
