About 2 weeks ago a close buddy of mine from high school, college, and the Army, was in town for the day in between flights headed out of the country. Spent the day with him and it was great seeing him. I last saw him about 25 years ago on my bike trip/vacation, out West.
Well, today he was to return at 5:30 AM and catch a flight out at 10:AM. So, we planned to meet at the airport, and have breakfast. At 5:15 AM, I was sitting outside the Customs exit for passengers. After about an hour and a half, and all the passengers had exited, I was basically just sitting there, nobody around.
A Customs officer walked by and I asked if there were any passengers still in there, and she said no. Up to this point I had already called his cellphone twice and left messages. No response. So, I left and went to the terminal where his flight out was to be and scouted around thinking that maybe I missed him and he thought I didn't show. Maybe his phone was dead. So, I figured that as long as I was already there, I would hang out in the food area seeing as I hadn't eaten yet. And there it was a coffee and doughnut shop, with trays and trays of doughnuts.
I didn't think that there was any recession on, because the small coffee was $1.75, and there on the wall was a sign that said:
DOUGHNUTS - .95 Cents.
I had a coffee and a doughnut, and decided to leave with mixed feelings about him not showing. That's not like him. Here it is around 10:00 AM and I still haven't heard from him. I bet a dollar to a doughnut that something is wrong.
