I have seen hell and it sounds like smooth jazz.

But for the most part we sat or laid around in the airport for 7 hours, slowly being driven mad by the constant smooth jazz interrupted only by the occasional announcement about not leaving your baggage unattended.

We landed back in Atlanta at 1 in the morning, and they re-scheduled our flight to ECP for 8 am. We couldn't really afford to get a hotel so we tried our best (and failed) to sleep in the Atlanta airport. We each got maybe 20 minutes or so in the form of a few catnaps.

At the time my Great Grandmother was still alive, and then my Mother asks her about cutting off the ends of the ham it was because her oven was too small to fit the full ham...

"I don't know, my Mother always cut the ends off"
