And yet another delay...

Well this was the weekend of air travel delays for me...my first flight from Minneapolis to Detroit was pretty un-eventful (but then it should be at 6 a.m.) I had 20 minutes to make my connecting flight in Detroit and upon boarding, we were told there was a malfunctioning speaker in the flight deck. So two hours later we left Detroit after waiting for the part, installation and sign-off for the mechanical work. Thank goodness my laptop was fully charged and I could get some work done while stranded.

The weather in Florida upon my return was awesome...77 degrees and sunny. Big news here is the Republican primary Tuesday night so that accounts for the media I saw swarming at the airport.

Thanks for your comments on the Blog...it was fun to hear from "Cousin Eddie" in Idaho (who I last played golf with about ten years ago). Better make plans to get to Florida for a re-match, Ed!!

Have a good week--

The Joys of Air Travel

Hi from Northfield,

Well I finally made it back to Minnesota on Friday night. My flight out of West Palm was delayed 2 1/2 hours due to mechanical problems--so that meant I missed my connecting flight in Detroit. Although it's always good to have those mechanical problems solved before flying! I arrived home around 10 p.m. vs. the 6 p.m. I had planned...so I missed the boys' basketball game I was hoping to attend.

I had a good weekend and had a chance to see many friends--breakfast with Lorie on Saturday morning, attended Brooke's basketball game Saturday afternoon before dinner with Don and Jane at the Legend's Club on Saturday night. I saw lots of friends at church this morning--never enough time to see and visit with everyone. I also met Barb for a quick visit (with awesome nachos) at Applebees before having dinner with the family tonight.

I'm headed back to West Palm Beach in the morning--as in 6 a.m. so it will be a quick night and I hope an equally quick return to Florida.

Thanks for checking in on me-
