Bad Decisions

If you would like to punish yourself, be sure to show up to the airport four hours before your flight. Also, if possible have a lay over that gets delayed twice (woo... 8 hours in the airport and going). At BWI, the aforementioned early departure location, I started to fall asleep while reading. In this particular case it was while reading Vonnegut, a first for me. I decided getting up and moving around was the right call. Concourse, another word for 'really large hallway'. The options at airports have expanded recently. Probably driven by the impetus to show up earlier to get through security then be stuck on the 'other side'. A trap I'm clearly familiar with. These options, however, are not really suited for 10am. Ram's Head Tavern? I think not. Honestly, there are no good decisions ahead, maybe the coffee, but man do they try. Wine bar? Yep they've got that. Luxury watch brand kiosk? You'll find it and it's starting at 700 doller time pieces. Pandora Jewelry? Uh huh, that and under construction Victoria's Secret. Given the over priced *anything* at Hudson News, I can only imagine these other shops.

So, just about everything here is waiting for me to make bad decisions, especially you Chipotle. Before a flight? Really?? I guess it could be Taco Bell. Clearly I *have* to make a bad decision. Give in to my rumbling stomach and eat something while I still have two hours to kill. Cinnabon. Sin_a...forget it.

If you think the photos are appealing I can tell you I did my best to be flattering. In reality it was pretty sad. As Louis C.K. says "No one is happy in line at Cinnabon". So, for nostalgia? For the times when your options were "That" or The Golden Arches? Because, when leaving the land of the free, you embody the brave and "Do it up"? 'Murica!

The "Bon" itself? Pretty bad. Outsides stiff and stale. Impressive really, given at 9:20 am you'd think they'd be pumping these shame-rolls out at a pace to fill every proximal nostril with a brain pathway "poor decisions" button. Worst case their "morning rush" ends at 8am? Yet here I am, stale Cinnabon.

The bottom also was chewy and stiff, something wrong with their "keep warm" plates, or just bad process? Cinnamon filling bland, and the dough basically flavorless. The "goey center" was as advertised, more cinna-goo and softer dough. If anything just makes me wish I could do away with the remaining 3/4. The frosting was caked on, not drizzly and running down the sides like all the unkept promises of advertising. Yay sugar? Is that what saves it? Nope. "Life Needs Frosting" the box would have me believe. Now I question that, and really, how you still exist.

Might be a "part deux". I'm trapped in Miami airport and there are 'authentic' Cuban restaurants.
