I’m sitting in the Phoenix International Airport, Gate A6, waiting for my flight to Boston — two hours from now. It was an unusually long security line, a bit more than an hour, which is way longer than usual. But what made the time barable was the woman who was hollerin’ instructions. Usually this was extremely irritating, but she was signing her instructions in a gospel style, and doing it quite well. All she needed was a Hammond organ, and stained glass behind her, and we would have been there. I love personality showing up in unexpected places.
Speaking of personality, the second unusual was another airport patron walking by, a guitar strapped to her back and following her on a leash? — a white ferret. Another one that I’ve not seen before.
Now I have to talk to my friends in the Cartwright district and see who was lucky enough to go see you and Tony present. I wish the Glendale Elementary District would have been involved in hosting some of your presentations. Glad you enjoyed the weather down here.
Dave, I enjoy these updates. One question though: how does one SIGN in gospel style? 🙂 God speed.
I think he must have meant sing- maybe? Dave, this made me laugh out loud. This why I read your blog. Thank you for sharing. I would have been forced to holler – AMEN BROTHER– AMEN…
Yep, it was sing, though she was being quite expressive with her arms. She was give wide berth!
I was flying that day. I saw that ferret, too!
