March 13, 2009, 9:32 a.m., Denver International Airport

Amount Paradise Bakery in the Denver International Airport wanted to charge me for 1 inch of hot water: $1.67

The 7:12 United flight out of Jackson is just way, way, way too early. I swear I entered REM sleep before the flight attendant, seven minutes before we landed in Denver, nudged me to put my seat back in the upright position.

After stumbling down the B concourse to Paradise Bakery, getting a double espresso instead of a double Americano (I’m opposed to any coffee outfit that charges more for Americanos than espressos), I’ve woken up though and have set up a temporary office.

Denver International Airport office. 9:03 - 9:41 a.m.

I LOVE that DIA now offers free airport-wide wifi. Go DIA. Almost makes up for the stupid coffee pricing at Paradise. (Actually, their very ample free samples of their most delicious chocolate chip cookies almost makes up for their ass-hat Americano prices … but not quite.)

Anyway, I’ll be utilizing three temporary offices today: here, Houston, and, saving the best for last, a beach in Belize. Ambergris Caye. It rather amazes me that I’ll be in Belize by 4:45 this afternoon. It was 0 degrees when I left Jackson this morning. At the ungodly hour of 6:20.
