Go get a sandwich at the Berghof Cafe. Next to C26. That will kill a few minutes.

Take the train downtown and hit up a real Chicago deli.

...although a bit late for that now (at the time of this post).

Being very frequently ISO-ed (Involutarily Stuck in ORD), I carry at least 3 books in my backpack, writing paper and a membership in RCC.
Speaking for myself, I convert my RCC-captivity time to productive time.

That would have been great!
I finally made it to MKE, after cooling my heels for about 3 hours at ORD. Wandered between C/B and E/F, where my 50-seat CRJ was waiting to deliver me to Milwaukee. Watched some NFL games at the Fox Sports SkyBox (packed,) watched the heavies come and go on the active (very cool!) and watched 3 hours of my life vanish, never to return.
Hey iluv2fly: I've done 7 segments in your 1A stomping grounds this year: 1 on a SFO-IAD 757, 1 on IAD-CDG 777 and 5 on CRJ's and CR7s between ORD-MKE and DEN-MKE.
Not that you would ever be caught dead on a CRJ! So it's not like I'm intruding or anything.

Even after a day like today, I can't bring myself to spend the money on RCC. I am but a common gate louse.

looks like flyinryan left Chicago and found a seat on a CRJ getting him out of there. I will close that thread now.
