You learn something new every day

Today did not start off well. I was scheduled to leave on a flight out of Evansville at 630am to go to a on-campus interview. At 330am, the phone rang. It was American Airlines calling to tell me that my flight connecting from Chicago had been cancelled and they wanted to get me rescheduled on a different flight. I am sure you can imagine the panic that set in. I was scheduled to have dinner with a couple people from the college at 7pm and the campus was a good three hour drive from the airport.

Luckily, the lady from AA was so kind; she got me rebooked on a Delta flight that flew in directly into the college town. My new flight did not leave until 11am so I had a good chunk of time to get some errands and such completed.

I connected in Cincinnati and during my hour layover was checking out the gift shops. A big type of treat over in this part of the country is Buckeyes. Buckeyes are a peanut butter cookie ball dipped in chocolate and I thought they were called Buckeyes because they looked like eyes. Um yeah, no. Apparently they are called Buckeyes after the nut of a tree that grows in Ohio. I had to learn this from a postcard in a gift shop in the Cincinnati airport which isn't really in Ohio!

Today was definitely a day of learning. Here is a summary of what I learned:

1. American Airlines is the best!
2. Buckeyes are nuts (no, this is not an insult to people from Ohio!)
3. The Cincinnati airport is in Kentucky.

It's not good to overload the brain on the day of an interview!
