Yakima, Seattle, Wolfgang Puck

Posted under A Geek Dad's Life, Blog Posts

I’m off to Yakima, WA for a product installation.  I’m happy to go onsite to see our customers use our software, but it always sucks to be away from the family for more than just a couple of days. 

The good news is that I ave a break in my schedule, so I’ll make a side trip to see my buddy in Seattle and get some photographic evidence of my “world traveler status.”

I just went through security at our local International Airport, and I marvel at how much we have grown used to the draconian interrogations.  I’m not complaining; I am just communicating my astonishment.

The 6:00am flight meant that I had to get up at 4am, shower, wolf down a Hot Pocket, drive to the airport, etc.  No time to grab a coffee on the way, so I decided to get a cup at the airport.  The coffee shop wasn’t open yet, so I opted for the gourmet vending machine coffee.

That clever little vending machine at the airport is not fooling anyone; Wolfgang Puck did not hand-make my cup of Caramel Frappaccino BlahbityBlah for $1.25… regardless of what the full-sized image on the front of the machine would have you believe.
