Colorado to Maine via NYC

Here I sit in the great state of Maine.

After my 12:56 AM departure from Denver was delayed...it was delayed again. I finally got in the air at about 2:30 AM, and slept almost the whole way to NYC. Upon landing in NYC I checked my watch; 7:55 AM; my flight departure to Portland from NYC was 7:59 AM...hmmmm. Out of the plane I ran only to be greeted by a closed gate and a plane on the tarmac. Damnit, I thought to myself, I headed to the counter to see if they could sneak me on. "Oh we have not boarded yet" said the woman, "delayed due to snow." Yes...no!

After another fairly short delay and a de-icing, we took off in the blinding snow and touched down smoothly here in ME.
