I also think MRs like the live action of what takes place in the airport. The fun, the excitement, the commerce, the drama. Meeting people you'll never meet again. Like in the movie "Flight Club", where Ed Norton's character describes the people he meets in airports and on planes, "single serving friends". I like that. You talk to people you'd never otherwise meet. You enrich yourself from their experiences. You hear stories, meet newlyweds, a retired couple going on the trip of a life time. You also meet our boys and girl off to battle and seeing their heart wrenching goodbyes at the gate. I've learned so much from people and experience. I would fly every weekend if I could.

Yes we MRs are a strange and crazy breed. I am so glad that article was done. I now feel that I am not alone in my air travel insanity.
