Milwaukee's Magic

Darkness turns to light
and the sky turns bright white
glitter flakes just might
fall where my soul takes flight

Okay not exactly correct on the rules...but there it is.

I am still thinking...pondering...stuck in the magic that was Milwaukee. It wasn't a particularly interesting place. I didn't even see it really. But I remember the snow. I had never seen anything like it. Did I tell you about that? Perhaps, but it's still in my brain, so let me talk about it some more.
When we landed in MKE it was dark. It was snowing. The flood lights shined bright enough for us to make our way from the airplane to the terminal...no jetway. It was cold, but somehow magical. The flakes looked like droplets of sparkling glitter coming from Heaven. I figured it must have been the way the light shined on them.
However, the next day, in the morning light, they still looked that way.
2 days later we were back in MKE again. As we were leaving for the final time, it started to snow. Flakes of pure glitter fell onto my wondering face. I can't shake it from my memory. That's good. I don't ever want to forget Milwaukee's magic.

Ready for a story?

Oh boy! I knew it would happen sooner or later...but when it did happen, I didn't see it coming. What a shock.
What happened? I'm sure you'll guess after my third sentence, but here goes...

I was inflight. I had just finished my beverage service and was roaming through the cabin picking up trash. It is my habit that I open the bathroom door and collect trash that has built up in the lav. Now, on some planes the door doesn't work so well and it takes a bit of muscle to lock it. Have you guessed yet?
Yep, the door wasn't locked. Yes, I opened it, and yes, someone was in there. I was so embarresed! These bathrooms are small. I opened the door to find a large black man with his pants down around his ankles.
I immediately shut the door, turned around and said, "Oh my gosh!! I am so sorry!"
The lady sitting in 13A saw what had happened and laughed. The gentleman and I made sure to not speak or even look at each other the rest of the flight.
