Traveling man

I’ve been on trips like this. Fortunately, not this past weekend.

“You’ll have plenty of time,” he smiled. “The new plane will be here in 15 minutes.”
Fifteen minutes, by the way, seems to be the basic unit of measurement for time at Air Canada. Maybe it’s a metric thing. Half an hour later (“two fifteen minutes,” in metric units), the Airbus 319 arrived. So we boarded at 5:15 (45 minutes to connect in Toronto now), and waited.
Which is when time stood still.
Unfortunately, the clocks didn’t.
