United is such a tease. They love to set these ridiculously short connection times just to get the ol' blood pressure skyrocketing. Landing in Chicago about the time my connection was boarding, I raced from terminal B to terminal C just in time to jump in at the end of the line. I handed the gentleman my boarding pass. He slid it into the machine and I heard a buzz. Not a good buzz. A tv game show you-just-lost-a-million-dollars bad answer buzz. A buzz warning of something wrong that is going to take a while to fix and visions of already jam-packed overhead storage ran through my mind. Damn! What now!? Then the gentleman smiled, ripped up my boarding pass, handed me a new one and said "Merry Christmas!" Completely confused I looked down at the boarding pass. Seat 6a. SEAT 6A! Business class!!! Free upgrade! YEAH! I did my little happy dance and bolted up the tunnel.

Fun with lights ~ Matt and Laura playing "In the Year
2000" (from Conan O'Brien) with their reading lights...

As I was unloading and peeling of the layers, I heard
someone call my name. I looked up to see my crazy,
crazy, funny, funny, funny friend Matt who I met my
first week in Paris sitting right behind me. We switched
seats which guaranteed no sleep for the next eight hours.
Matt immediately befriended the flight attendants
securing the uninterrupted flow of champagne and
vodka-cranberries for the rest of the flight followed by
a healthy breakfast of Bloody Mary's washed down with
a piece of fruit. ~hic 8*}

I do not race through airports well. Been there, done that at O'Hare. But a free upgrade is nice!
