I thought I had jinxed myself.
As I was sitting on the plane parked off on a corner of the taxiway, delayed due to weather in Denver, I thought, "Yep, this is payback for last Friday.
"Best case scenario, I still get to Denver in time to make my connection.
"Worst case, I get stuck overnight in Denver.
"I don't want to be stuck overnight in Denver.
"If we weren't stuck on the plane on the runway, I would just bag the whole thing and drive back home with my parents who are leaving tomorrow and arriving Tuesday."
But that wasn't an option.
So I sat.
And, after an hour, we took off. We landed in Denver in time for me to go standby on an earlier flight which had also been delayed by the weather.
I still got into Aspen about 40 minutes before my originally scheduled arrival.
Boy, am I screwed next time.

Just plan a short trip that you don't care about. A sacrificial trip of sorts to appease the gods.
That cracked me up.
