First Report -- the trip there:
So: I'm sitting in the DFW terminal, waiting for them to announce the gate for my flight, which has been delayed, and I see a guy walk by wearing a Powerhouse Gym jacket. Taking a wild guess, I told him the gate for Columbus hadn't been announced yet. "How did you know I was going to Columbus?" he asked.
"The Powerhouse jacket gave you away." I said. I didn't catch his name yet, but he said he's been coming to the Arnold for 15 years! Then, when he gets home Monday, he has to turn around and fly to Australia for a meet. This guy's a large powerlifter, and I know the trouble -I- have with the width of airline seats -- I can't imagine how he will handle the 14+ hour flight to Down Under.
So: here I sit, waiting for my flight, calmly munching my chicken breasts surrounded by all sorts of culinary blandishments, but my cheat meal isn't till Saturday! I may see if I can find a steamed vegetable plate somewhere.
Well, Patrick, here's my first "report"! <grin>
I'll see everyone who's coming very soon, and I'll take LOTS of pictures for everyone else.
