STL DPB ON THE ROAD - LA GUARDIA AIRPORT AND A RARE VIDEO

I've been flying through New York's La Guardia airport since I started college in St. Louis in 1967. It used to be a dump (https://tinyurl.com/mvbs69fh). Over the last several years it has been transformed with new, flashy terminals. It is much more spacious and the amenities are better, but one glowing store after restaurant after bar packed next to one another make them almost indistinguishable. Terminal B with our usual airline, American, has this waterfall-cum-light show. The display seemed to form letters going by too fast to read, but I think it has something to do with the World Cup.                     

Christmas Afternoon

Most of the excitement is over. Everybody who is interested in loot has got theirs. It doesn't matter whether you're naughty or nice any more. Santa is exhausted and needs a ride home.

We are visiting my family in Ridgewood, New Jersey, for a few days. The other divisions are driving distance, coming in from suburban Boston and central Pennsylvania. We have to fly. Something got my attention at New York's La Guardia airport while we were waiting for our bags. Those of us who watch Jon Stewart's The Daily Show will recognize it as one of those moments of zen. Stare at it long enough and it could drive you mad.
