International gridlock at JFK. I got stuck in some. jetblue might have their own terminal at JFK, but that didn’t prevent our plane being stuck at number 25 in the queue. The pilot even complained that today was the worst possible travel day for some odd reason. The only good thing about sitting and waiting for two hours is that I caught Randy Johnson throw bullets at the Braves.

You can clearly hear the coolest birds chirp sounds which I swear I don’t hear otherwise!

Everyone’s sweaty and gross, taking showers seems almost useless since you walk outside and break out in moisture. Everyone sends text messages, and the cool kid boutiques are still there. Because of the heat, I sit down to eat and end up not being able to finish my meals. This is how NY is supposed to be.
