It's blue skies and sun shine all around as we wait at Gate C-8 at PDX. We've had a lot of time to gaze out the windows and appreciate the weather because apparently Denver is enjoying a different climate altogether--at this writing the Denver airport has experienced at least six inches of snow and it's delaying flights in and out. Our airplane is scheduled to leave at noon, a full hour later than originally scheduled. Our flight from Denver to D.C. is still an unknown. Fortunately, the 15 students and 3 chaperones are making good use of their waiting time. Ben's beautiful new laptop has gotten its morning workout and at least three students are trying to get some homework out of the way (Emma: "Zack, what's the Spanish words for grapes?"). The only cause for concern--a plethora of empty cans of energy drinks laying around. Spirits are high (and probably would be even without the Red Bulls and Monsters) and the students are being good sports about the delay.
