Almost perfect in Cincinnati

For as bad as things went in OKC this morning, they couldn't have gone much closer to perfect in Cincinnati this afternoon. We arrived late, so I was weary, but then pretty much everything went right.

At first, I only had forty minutes until the scheduled departure time of my connection. That seemed tight until I learned that my connecting flight was departing from the same terminal I arrived at (that almost never happens to me).

Even with that bit of good fortune, I didn't think I had enough time to grab a bite to eat before boarding began. But then there was a fast food place with no line right next to where I needed to be. So I got myself some lunch and had time to finish it and kick back for a few minutes, because as it turned out, my connecting flight was a little late getting to the gate, so they still had to clean-up the aircraft.

Boarding was smooth, and I got a little bonus out of it. A cute girl sat down next to me for the 70 minute flight. Not that anything came of that, but it's something that NEVER happens to me in all the flying that I do, so it was not unappreciated.
