Sometimes flying is the lesser of two evils. This is my belief, after making plenty of trips for business and pleasure.

I had only a 45-minute layover on the way home. It’s not impossible to navigate DFW with less than an hour layover, but if my return flight from Tampa was delayed, I knew that might be a future problem. So worries started playing in my mind. I managed to quiet them for the next four days. And then, just like I’d worried, I received The Call from the airline on Monday afternoon: Instead of leaving at 4:55, my Tampa flight was set to leave at 5:15.
