Yours truly is delivering a keynote luncheon speech today to the Airports Council International Economic and Finance Conference. As I sit here looking out my hotel window in Broomfield Colorado, I can see snow on the Rockies. But it was last night when I flew in that was spectacular.

For those of you into photography, you’ll know what I mean when I say the light was simply gorgeous. Landed about half an hour before sunset and the golden light hitting the aircraft as they made their way out on the taxiways at DIA, or Senor Pena’s Palace of Planes, as I dubbed it a long time ago, was so striking I just had to stop and watch it play out for a bit outside the huge windows of the concourse before I schlepped on into the terminal for my bag.

Yes, I am lucky. I apparently hit Denver as it was enjoying a brief bit of spring. But today, it’s overcast once again, and I understand it’s scheduled to get colder again in the next day or two.

Hold down the Fort while I attempt to entertain the airport folks in a bit. I figure with what all that is going on in the industry now — that’s going to be a tall order.

Talk to you guys later.

Try to behave in the meantime.
