Back in the Saddle

August 18, 2005

I’m happy to report we have made it back from a very long week and a half of galavanting around the nation.

First we spent a few days in Annapolis, MD with some longtime friends. Ours is a relationship of iron sharpening iron and I think we’re all the better for it.

Next we flew to California to attend the funeral of my grandfather-in-law.

I share my reflections:

  1. God bless the person who, during Jet Blue’s startup phase said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea, let’s put a TV at each seat!”
  2. Parents with small children should be exempt from adhering to time differences between time zones.
  3. I love the family I married into. They love and accept me as though I’ve been a part of them always, they smother me with hugs and kisses and they cook the best food known to man—ribs, hot links, pound cake, fried chicken, real mac & cheese, collard greens…absolutely yum.
  4. Granddaddy’s funeral was the best I’ve ever been to. He knew Jesus, he was 96, he lived a full life—it was a celebration.
  5. There’s nothin’ like the Pacific Ocean.
  6. Much to my surprise, I can survive without the internet. Consequently, I’ve decided I spend entirely too much time on the computer in my regular life. Will do my best to change this. Will try to get out more.

Next item on the agenda: a boatload of laundry.
