September 27, 2005 So Funny In what can best be described as a terrible airport experience, I was sitting on the floor in Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport last night, wallowing in my own self-pity and extremely perturbed at Delta Airlines for making me miss my connection, when all of a sudden, Jesse Jackson walks by me. Even in my disgruntledness, I just had to laugh. I won't tell you what word jumped into my head the minute I saw his face, but I'd be lying if I didn't say the thought entered my mind to try to stage some sort of racial uprising in protest of Delta's incompetence with Jesse at my side. Too bad Delta's bankrupt. I'm on a plane back to Seattle now (finally). Regular poting to resume tomorrow.

What the chants sound like? Posted by: Tom at September 27, 2005 6:50 AM Let's all chant: "Delta's chutzpa whipsawed Ambra."

Posted by: Bijan C. Bayne at September 28, 2005 5:17 AM Delta's not ready when you are. How big of an "entourage" did he have, was he talking and walking at the same time, and did he carry anything (like a suitcase)? If only you had one of those picture phones...

Posted by: Sam at September 29, 2005 6:40 AM Too bad you didn't have a picture phone. Posted by: princessdominique at October 3, 2005 1:44 AM Actually I do have a camera phone. I have one of those TMobile Sidekick IIs....but who wants a picture of Jesse Jackson? I know I didn't. Posted by: Ambra Nykol at October 3, 2005 9:58 AM |

Just as well I wasn't with you. I would have been tempted to behave in a very unlady like manner. Must remind hubby to keep me well away from Jesse Jackson, especially when there's cameras and bloviating reporters around . . .
