Writing from the Heart with Brian
Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I check my phone for the millionth time. I'm two hours early for my flight, but that’s nothing new. How a single missed school bus shaped a lifetime of chronic punctuality—and why I'll always be the guy waiting at the gate.
From getting on TSA watchlists for excessive friendliness to realizing your expensive headphones have a noise-canceling button after a two-hour flight, here are a few observations from Terminal B, Gate 50.
