Modern life sometimes seems like it is filled with an abundance of minor indignities and frustrations. A cornucopia of annoyance and humiliation we do our best to endure. As exemplified by travel this summer, for example. In such a world, one must embrace any small victories that present themselves. Such as discovering seating for two conveniently hidden behind a large structural column and facing a large window looking West at an airport we frequent. It is a place to enjoy some mask-free peace and quiet along with one's coffee prior to being herded onto the plane. A room with a view you might say.
