It was almost a perfective moment. I had been racing through the traffic of Boston on a rainy day, slowed by accidents, nervous with regards to catching my flight. I had fretted as I waited for the rental car shuffle to get to the right terminal. I was stopped in security to explain my I was carrying a cylindrical metal object in my suitcase (a microphone). But now I had arrived at my gate 10 minutes before my flight was scheduled to depart. It was a almost perfective moment. There was an airplane at the jet bridge but… no one was at the gate and the door was closed. The plane was still there, but I had missed it. If you have never missed a flight, let me give you a lot of tips on how to do it.

Tip 1: be uncertain of your departure time I have a lot of plans for respective flights that I have scheduled and I forgot what time this flight was departing until I received a reminder to my phone.

Tip 2: don’t concede sufficient time I was working in an office only 25 minutes or so from the airport when there is not traffic but this was Friday afternoon when traffic was guaranteed and a rainy Friday afternoon at that. My plan was to grant an extra half hour to get to the airport and drop off the rental car. I like to plan to get to the airport an hour before my flight and then add on time from there.

Tip 3: “one more thing” Even after I was reminded by an email alert of my departure time I took the time to do “one more thing”. Given how close I was to making the flight one more thing may have been one thing too many.

Tip 4: don’t concede for traffic If I had been competent to take public transportation I might have made my flight. The MTA would have been full but it would not have had the difficultness with the rain that delayed me on the turnpike behind at least 2 accidents. It i s very discouraging and hindering to be an hour and a half from a flight but still not sure you are going to make it. Public transportation would have been slower than the best time in a car but better than the worst time.

Tip 5: make security more complicated It is ironic that when I initial packed my heavy metal Blue Yeti Microphone I was concerned that it might slow me down in airport security, but that it did not slow me down until the very time that I could least afford the delay.

Tip 6: “one last thing” Even after getting through security I made one last stop (granted it was the restroom) before getting to my gate. When you are rushing for a flight be laser concentered at least until you get to the gate and find out the status of boarding.

Ice on Ice was developed for the discriminating canine exhibitor and professional groomer but may be employed by anyone. It is a leave in conditioning finishing spray and detangler with sunscreen. It formulates a beauteous glisten while reducing grooming time. Ice on Ice gives rise to a protective barrier locking in moisture, repelling rain, dirt, dust and urine. It fortifies and protects the coat cuticle on the outside while counteracting harm from the inside creating liveliness, a healthful texture and a high sheen. No harsh chemicals. Great for de-matting a coat. High sheen finishing spray. Repels dirt and dust. Use on feet to keep clean. Not oil based so it doesn’t weigh the coat down or attract dirt. Contains sunscreen.
