Blair & Julie

Blair and Julie were scheduled to fly out at 8pm yesterday. I drove them to National Airport, bid them adieu, and started the drive back home. I was dialing one of my brothers for a chat on the way home when Blair phone number came up on my caller ID. "Our flight was canceled. We're on flights tomorrow. Can you come get us?" I quickly exited, did a cloverleaf, and headed back to the airport.

They were still wrestling with airline people, so I drove over to the cell phone waiting area. I pulled next to a woman whose car wouldn't start. We found a pair of jumper cables and, after a quick call to Jared for instructions on how to jump a car, we got her running. Looks like Scout Camp had an impact.

I went back to the terminal and collected our weary travellers. The airline put Blair on a 7:30am flight back home, and Julie on a noon flight. Even the pregnant-woman card couldn't get them on a flight together. Back at our house, we played some more Killer Bunnies, I had introduced them to the game earlier in the day to a wonderful reception, and visited until we all crashed into bed.

I awoke early, got Blair to the airport on time, and took Julie back to my office where she promptly fell asleep in the nap room for three hours. I took her to the airport around 9:30am and thus ended our wonderful weekend with Blair & Julie. Luckily we are going to see them when we are in Minnesota in two weeks. Can't wait!

Jared said this post should have been called 'This White Man Can Jump'.
