The dreaded middle seat.... 11E.
On my left, in the window seat is a lady flying from Albuquerque to Chicago to visit her daughter. We did have too much of a conversation - but she is originally from Buffalo, lived for a bit in Philadelphia and a few otehr spots before Rio Rancho (the expanding suburb of Albuquerque).
On my left, a guy from Taos, NM - heading home to his mom in New Jersey for her 70th birthday. How wonderful - I know she will be delighted to see him. They are then going to head to Maryland to see his sister and her dogs.
I did not get either of the names here - so let's call them Jim and Carol.
Jim has been outwest since he was 18 - living several places in Colorado - always near skiing or golfing. In Toas now he does the irrigation for a golf course. For me - he sounds like someone who has a great life - enjoying the pleasures that his workplace can provide outside of his working hours. He also told me of a small town in Colorado he lived in a few years back - population 50. Yes fifty. I guess I can't imagine a town so small - he said it was great.
Carol got in on the conversation - as we discussed some history in Philadelphia. The historic streets there really had madse an impression on me a few years back. Jim mentioned he thought some place in NY had the oldest street in the US - (just did a quick google search and there's a toss-up between Huguenot St in New Paltz NY, Elfreth's Alley in Philly, or Leyden Steet in Plymouth - depends on the criteria you use.
Hope "Carol" and "Jim" enjoy their visits!
