I spent 10 hours in the Miami Airport today on my way to Montevideo, Uruguay to speak. I'm excited about the trip, but not the 5 hours on this side of security, and then 5 hours on the other side. Fortunately, I was able to work from a lounge next to the luggage shrink-wrapper.

Am I naive to think that I don't need my luggage ensconced in blue glad-wrap to survive the trip? These guys do a bustling business, so I must be crazy.

Meanwhile - there are international phone card machines everywhere. This guy lead his along by a leash. We definitely don't want that phone card machine out running amok!

Curses to the Miami Airport for removing the stamp machines so I couldn't mail cards and letters. They did leave the mail boxes out though. Really? Yes, apparently 9/11 created a state of fear, not about what people might put into letter boxes, but that they might do legitimate mailing.

I blame the Amish - who, by the way, were in the Miami Airport in droves. How does that work?

Thank God for that leash! I am praying for your safe travels and now these phone card machines, that could be running amok, are at the top of my list. Lord protect my brother!!!!

Have a blast.

Apparently you've never heard of a horse-drawn 747 with an orange reflective triangle on the back...
