The Waiting Place

Sounds like a good deal to me. As I sit here trapped in my own waiting place, otherwise known as Philadelphia International Airport, I can’t help but wonder what I could do to escape. I don’t really require boom bands, I’d settle for home. I seem to spend far too much time in the waiting place. Oh, time to board the plane, never mind.
