Valentine weekend early 80's. I was in PHL/center city from BOS for a Friday AM meeting (day trip).

Storm blew up the eastern seaboard, we stopped the meeting around 11:15am. Took a cab to PHL - was 2.5 hours to get to airport. By the time I got there, it was closed. 30" of snow fell. Slept in TWA ambassador's club on two chairs Friday night. Lucky the club found me a hotel room nearby for Saturday night. I was in same suit so it was a relief to get out of those clothes, sit in bed and watch TV. Finally had a chance to fly out on Sunday. Instead of going back to BOS, I had meeting in Chicago on Monday so I caught a flight to ORD. Being Valentine's Day, I had arranged to meet someone I was dating who lived in Louisville in Chicago anyhow :-) landed in Chicago, went to Marshall Fields in Water Tower and just bought new clothes. Threw old stuff into a bag and walked out wearing new stuff. I swear I didn't wear that suit again for at least 9 months!
