Sitting in the airport... Vol. 1

Why do people hug out of obligation? The horrible thing is that it is just so obvious. Two people share in such an awkward embrace initiated by the one who is just a tad bit more motivated, and then what to do?! Stand and look at each other. Weird. I say, forget the hugs unless you love that person. Hugs are so personal, in my opinion.

My favorite hugs, especially in airports, are when someone is waiting at baggage claim for family or an awesome friend. The best is when the best friend or family member sneaks up and surprises the "waitee". The hug that follows that experience is one that music and movies should be inspired by. Maybe I like these hugs, because I'm always just excited to get my bags and get in the freaking cab, and not getting any hugs like that. They are so fabulous to watch, I wonder what they actually feel like!! I bet it's awesome!!

I've got to sign off now... Leaving Epley Airfield in Omaha, NE. Be home in a few hours. I like these little airport and travel thoughts...I think I might have to do these often.
