Because of the holidays I recently did a bit of traveling. After seeing my family in Fargo I headed to New York City for a few day to spend New Years with my wife. It's never an easy process to fly, maybe it used to be but not these days. It becomes a full day event to get to the airport, get through security, and simply hop on a plane. While I was traveling I had some down time in a couple airports and I noticed something interesting. Flying will make you fat.

Let me explain. As I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my flight I begin to do the usual people watching. During this I notice something. Everyone has food. Ok not everyone, but a lot of people. Its everywhere. People slurping coffees, eating cheetos, and scarfing down McDonald's as fast as possible. Now I understand that food is normal and it's all around us, we have to eat after all, but I think it's a little different in an airport.

These are just my thoughts and observations. Rambling really. I know not everyone is like this, but I am. Discovering this is good for me. Now It's something I can try to be more aware of when I travel so that it will be easier to make good choices the next time.
