Saturday morning greetings from HOME! We boarded the plane in a timely manner and then sat for 5+ hours as the weather deteriorated. When we finally landed at Newark, we'd missed our connection to Dayton. They got us on a flight to Cincinnati and Rob and Mary Linda picked us up and brought us home. Today we'll retrieve Richard's car from Dayton. By the time I fell into bed, I'd been up for 24 hours.
And I'm sick...

So sorry you didn't get away on time Ginny. The TV news here has been full of complaints from passengers who similarly had to sit on planes for many hours yesterday waiting to take off. That's an appalling way to treat people.

After 3 hours, they offered the option of getting off, but said there would be no way of getting back on and your checked baggage would go to Newark. We didn't really see any point to leaving the plane.
One of my co-workers is leaving after almost 10 years.
I want to give a little gift. I want to make a cd of "Good-bye" songs.
This is what I have so far
Be Back Soon (Oliver)
So Long Dearie (Hello, Dolly)
So Long Farewell (The Sound of Music)
As If We Never Said Goodbye (Sunset Blvd)
Don't Like Goodbyes (House of Flowers)
Goodbye For Now (Reds)
Goodbye (The Producers)
We Musn't Say Goodbye (Stagedoor Canteen)
The Promise (I'll Never Say Goodbye)
Most of these are gut wrenching ballads. I need some upbeat songs. Any suggestions?

By the time we got to the 3-hour mark, we'd pulled away from the gate and taxied to the line-up for a runway that was closed before our turn. Because our original gate was by then occupied by an arriving flight, we were in a holding area. Anyone who chose to get off was bussed back to the terminal. I don't know if anyone opted to leave the plane.

I'm glad you made it home. But I wish they would realize these things before they board people. So unfair. Why should someone have to sit for 5 hours. And then to tell people they could get off but not back on and then lose their luggage? I am claustrophobic and would have been very unhappy to sit there for so long.
And the word of the day is: MENTOR!
I had a similar ordeal once, but my only aggravation was that by the time plane took off, I'd finished the book I planned to read on the flight, and all I could do during the actual flight was read the ailrlines literature. Oy!

I'm happy to start with some LA. The May Company building at Wilshire and La Brea. Stunning. Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House.

Been there, done that, learning a critical lesson in so doing. For some years I've viewed air travel time as one of the greatest opportunities for good, solid, uninterrupted reading. I know of no better way to pass and take advantage of the time.
But I majorly blew it once, on a four-hour flight back here from Dallas, by finding myself with but a few chapters left in the book I was reading -- just as they announced an additional one-hour wait on the tarmac before takeoff. DOOMED. And all my own doing. I nursed those chapters as slowly as I could, knowing there was nothing but the flight magazine which usually takes about five minutes to get through, even when there IS something worth reading.
So, never again. Now I always make sure I have at least one whole additional book that I know I can get into should the need arise. And I only read books that are printed on paper. Haven't yet been attracted to anything electronic. Fortunately, I have plenty right here on my shelves to pick from.
Well, I'm now on a Z-Pak and Mucinex DM. In addition to a sinus infection, I have conjunctivitis in my left eye :P

DR Jennifer, the only problem with an e-reader is that they make you turn them off during take-off and landing. I had only my iPad and found it frustrating to have to stow it during those times. In the future, I will have at least one dead-tree book or a couple of my own magazines.
It has been snowing all night and all day. Lots of snow.

But they would only make you turn it off for a few minutes right? Not for the full 5 hours? To turn off a kindle is really nothing.

Larry, I hope you're able to find a way to be more comfortable and sleep better.

Thanks, DR Jeanne! It's really an ordeal. After my visiting nurse yesterday, I did call my doctor to make an appointment. I think my date is Feb. 20.
DR Vixmom, Mom has been doing great, thanks for asking. (Though she's currently having some stomach issues due to a reoccurring condition of not having enough "good" bacteria in her intestines. We are trying to get her to eat more yogurt.)

I am glad to hear it (not the stomach part obviously) have you tried Greek Yogurt with some extra fruit? Blueberries, strawberries, peaches?
If you put enough fruit with it she may not notice it as much and blueberries and strawberries are supposed to be particularly good as well

Finally someone addresses the topic of the day. Perhaps some didn't know what it was :)

i am so sorry you ar esick but very pleased that you arrived home safely
And I forgot I have a little rehearsal directly after that - Guy Haines was asked to sing Corner of the Sky at a little Schwartz soiree that happens a week after OUR Schwartz evening. Since Guy is not singing it at our evening I told the people he could show up. He can't be there for today's rehearsal so I'm filling in.
Hello from sunny LA!are there pictures? :)
Had a wonderful mid-day meal with our own BK! We talked of Brent, Barbra and other things not beginning with "B"

No one has addressed the TOD.
It's a big subject. And important to me, but I don't know where to begin.
Okay. Just in general:
Art Deco period commercial buildings (stores, restaurants, theaters, offices) and Arts & Crafts (roughly 1910-1930?) style homes.
the patented HHW vibes have worked again The Vixter has been extended a job offer

Much as I love Brandon Frazer, I will never ever see the remake!
I had planned on doing nothing today, but the weather outside was decidedly not frightful. In fact, it was darn right nice enough to go out in the backyard and rake up some late falling leaves. I then came I and spent the afternoon setting up and playing with my brand spanking new blu-ray player. Not that I played an entire blu-ray--I played mostly with it's Internet features. I found that it was a huge kick to play YouTube videos on TV.

I, too like Victorian homes, Art Deco, and Arts and Crafts. I am also fond of Edwardian buildings. As much as I scoffed at structures like the Big Donut (anyone from LA remember that?), I now rather welcome them. I guess I like the whimsy and it's a break from the monotony of so much blah architecture. Character! That's what I like.

I am going to watch "Bedazzled."
