Last time I was in Dallas (about 10 years ago) there was, wait for it, an ice storm! I managed to get to the airport and we sat on the plane for 4 hours, deicing several times, and finally took off. The plane used so much fuel sitting on the runway that we had to stop in Vegas to refuel. Yuck.

For about 2 1/2 years from 1990 to 1992, I worked on detail at the Office of Naval Research. In that job I had to travel a lot more than I was used to, about two trips a month. They wanted me to stay there. All of the aggravation associated with flying, which wasn't nearly as much then as now, made me not accept the job. (Of course, if they offered me a promotion, I might have taken the job. :) )

Yo. Meeting up with some of my FFL League at the local watering hole, including a guy coming down from Duluth. All of us only see each other a couple times a year at best (thanks to said FFL League), so I'm looking forward to this.

Then it's Pile Sunday time. :)

Good Morning, Lodge!

This cough will not go away. On the plus side, the fatigue has slowly been going away.

So Jr gave the Eucharist to Lou Nanne this morning. Jr is a Eucharist Minister, along with Mrs and Lou and his wife sat in their section. Lou's name is prominent on the last addition to the church but I had only seen him in there once before.

Finally home! After over an hour on hold with our travel desk, mo co-worker and I decided to just book one-way tickets on Jet Blue. There was a 7am and an 11am flight and both were planning to take off. We did pros and cons of either and the 7am won out. They were predicting crappy roadways again but I think that would have been liked that all day.

We got in the car at 4am and headed out slowly. The main free wasn't too bad till we started hitting overpasses, and wow. Plows Dallas. Look into them. Hard ridges of thick ice - just awful. It was a hairy commute but it was really good that we were on the road so early there was no traffic. Got to the car rental center and there was no one at Enterprise. Left the keys in the car, got on a shuttle bus. Got to JetBlue and there was no line. At all. Checked in, got boarding passes, went to security. Again - no line. At all. I was worried that there would be a million people in line. Got to the gate, went to get coffee and breakfast and water. At the gate they announced they had some empty rows so I changed my seats so I could get a row to myself to sleep. Flight pulled away right on time. The tarmac was all icy as well. Seriously, they do not know how to clear out this crap.

Anyway, made it home safe and sound. I am seriously thinking about not flying American again. When we got to DFW, I noticed that 80% of the flights cancelled were American. Anyway, I'm not flying anywhere for a while.

I've decided that sports are a lot more fun when my teams are good.

What time do the Hawks play?

Glad to hear you finally got back up north. Dallas is a big American hub, so not a big surprise with them having most of the cancellations there.

Beautiful day in 813 land.

Is that the Lou Nanne who is intelligent enough to know that he shouldn't go to a college that prints its diplomas on McDonald's hamburger wrappers? :D (Just kidding.)
