[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] It’s true adversity builds character, but when a snowstorm grounded me in Denver, I remember thinking I already had enough character. But then, I guess that’s what comes of flying through Denver (or Chicago) in March (and booking the last flight of the day)—two of the many lessons I learned that night. I also learned not to believe the airline representative when he tells you to go to baggage and “dial this number for a hotel room.” If it’s midnight in a snowstorm, all you’ll end up with is a second pass through security, where they will confiscate your $3 bottle of water and you won’t be able to purchase another— remember, it’s midnight. Additionally, you will run down the bars on your cell phone calling hotels, and your charger might not be handy. On the plus side, there is a tremendous sense of community when overnighting in the airport, so you can borrow one. Someone might even invite you to watch the movies streaming nonstop on their laptop. Also a plus: At midnight, you’ve only got a few hours to kill, since the ticket agents show up at 5 a.m. (and if it’s still snowing, I strongly suggest being among the first to harass them for a flight out to anywhere). I also learned the importance of bringing a down coat, even if your final destination is balmy. It can serve as both mattress and blanket during those wee hours when the terminal is saving energy and you’re lying on the ground surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. And it’s still snowing. Then, I learned how to revive your circulation from girls in the bathroom who apparently didn’t get the memo about down coats. They cleverly positioned themselves at hand dryers, warming up under those noisy blasts of hot air. So you see, the night was far from a wash.
