Safely home
I made it home yesterday PM. I was worried again about getting stuck at Washington DC airport, this time due to high winds. They were cancelling flights due to severe weather in the Carolina's and it was very windy at Dulles airport. My flight was delayed about 30 min, but made it home fine.
Met Corey at the 5 Guys at Easton, since he had never eaten there. He was impressed and I was happy with eating there 2 of last 3 days! Angela was glad to see me and I her, didn't miss much at home but some the family is having issues:

- The Thomas family dog, Gracie, was at the vet most of the time I was gone. Think they found out it was an infection in the neck, but was very serious for a while.
- The Bonner's are head to Las Vegas to the Mecum Car show, this is becoming an annual event for them, last year we saw them on TV.
- Tyler and Rachel added another dog, a white Siberian Husky he found at school, will give dodger someone to play with
- Memi, Angela's mom, is having problems with an old family acquaintance calling her constantly, very long story, but let's say that it is getting very annoying.
- Aunt Rhoda's house still for sale, shown it a few times
- Brandon and Corey still looking for jobs
Counting down to Gatlingburg! less than 30 days!

Welcome to Canada, eh?
I finally made it to Brockville, Ontario, Canada. My flight was delayed out of Columbus for mechanical reasons, so I missed my connection in Washington, DC. Try not to get too worked on airplane problems. My philosophy has always been, fix the plane so i get there safely and i will deal with travel delays on the other end. Seems to have worked so far.
Silver lining behind that dark cloud (Note to self, ask Pastor Dear if this one of the myths Christan believe, for those not from our church Pastor is preaching series on myths Christians believe) was that there is a 5 guys burgers next to my gate. If I had made the flight = no lunch at 5 guys. Flight delay = 5 hour, but delicious 5 guys bacon cheeseburger and fries.
Finally made to Ottawa 5 hours later, then 1.5 hour drive to Brockville. I was so tired when i got into my room i just watched a little football and then to bed. Another good things about 5 guys, it lasts a while.
Today had lunch at Swiss Chalet, famous, here anyway, for roasted chicken, they use some kind of sauce with ginger in it, very tasty. Going to crash tonight, very tired after class, may try to find Angela a birthday present from Canada, but bed early since I have to be at airport by 0800 for a 0900 flight.
Nothing much else going on, class went great today, work getting very busy until end of year.
That's all for now, pressing on!

week in review 10/2/2009
Very busy week at work, here are the highlights as I remember them.
- Angela fixed Mexican shrimp and grits for dinner, quickly became one of my top favorites
- Finished off both desserts left over from Sunday, any doubt why I am overweight would be solved by a visit to our house.
- Brandon still waiting to hear on his job with the po pos (police) in Kansas
- Corey making some $$$ this weekend, rented a lawn aerator, makes holes in lawn, and renting it out to neighbors for $50 per. My little entrepreneur! So proud, no other jobs on the horizon but substitute teaching.
- Tyler and Rachel nothing much new, that I heard
- CONNECT Group hayride postponed, so Angela's sister's coming for chili supper, oh joy!
- She had a flat at Tim Horton's today, glad Corey was home
- I am going to Canada next week for work for 3 days, bad part is you cannot get there from here. Fly to DC, fly to Ottawa, drive an hour, ugh. Repeat on way home. Really bad part, they are small planes all the way, double ugh!!
- Obama and Oprah could not bring the Olympics to Chicago. Looks like the rest of the world is starting to lose their love for Obama.
- Pretty funny video to follow, Pressing On!
- Gatlinburg in 35 days?
