Albany Visit

I'm writing while at the airport, heading to Albany, NY to visit another one of our offices.

I made it here with enough time to ponder one of the great mysteries of air travel. Why is it that the gate I'm flying out of is always the farthest walk in the teriminal?

Look, I understand if I'm leaving from gate D45 - but I'm leaving from D1 and it still managed to be the furthest away. This always happens to me.

Are the close by gates fake? Is there a whole class of people that always have the near by gates? I know, I know, these are big questions.

Hey, I'm just glad I made it to my gate at all - even if it does require a map, compass and three days of rations.
