Best to you, and to his fortune with the flight.
Got a kick out of daughter's arrival Friday night. She's a helluva Soldier but a frickin' disaster magnet for com'l air. (I keep telling her that if the last hop is a puddle jumper start travel by 0600...).

Amused in the little local airport to find the following on the Arr/Dep tote board where, apparently, truth in advertising must've taken hold. Instead of the usual "Delayed" (yawn) hers & the flight before said in very big letters:

300 Minutes LATE

More honesty from a local carrier than the TSA magpies who stole Pete's cheese.

Aforementioned daugher safe at home, on the floor putting batteries in nephew's new Tonka CH-53. Been huggin' the munchkins close alot and that's happy enough for me today.

Enjoy the holidays with your son, that's the best.
Merry Christmas!
