The things we talk about here.

Well, I do hope that bk is in the air by now. -I just heard from two friends who are heading back into the city right now due to their flights being cancelled.

I just ran out of printer paper.

I hate it when that happens! It feels like I brought home a whole case from Staples not that long ago.

DR Elmore - Richard said to tell you about the cell phone that he dropped into the toilet. He says it's a "function of age" - and that you would love hearing that.

Yes, but Richard's crazy and old. My mental health is much better. That should put a bunch in his panties!

bk is going to be tired and cranky when he finally gets home!

What a day.

I'm so glad Ioana flew from Bucharest to NY, to Pittsburgh on Friday and not today.

Dear Nursie, I'm sorry I was on another call! It was loverly to hear your voice. I owe you a long phone call this week.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #278 on:** July 27, 2008, 04:38:31 PM »

I just hope bk still got his bulkhead seat. Although, something tells he me he did regardless of whether one was available or not.

So true, yet on days like today I am very grateful to be one of the lucky ones who make it home. Wishing the same for Bruce, and a nice flight once he is in the air.

I am happy t learn that all my vital statistics and phone message have been successfully transferred to my new phone. Now If I could only find a ringing sound I liked . . .

Jane · « **Reply #281 on:** July 27, 2008, 04:40:22 PM »

DR elmore, did my phone number register so you could save it in your contact list?

I just hope he eats on the plane - even if he just has a couple of bags of peanuts and some of those cheese-crackers. -Although, my favorites are the mini-chocolate-chip-cookies.

At least they offer Diet Coke as part of their beverage service.

Jane · « **Reply #284 on:** July 27, 2008, 04:46:01 PM »

I can't remember ever having mini-chocolate chip cookies. Bruce should have had plenty of time to get something at the airport. If there was something to be had. I've been stuck in airports where there weren't any vegetarian choices except stuff that would make me sick. When that happens I buy slices of turkey, if I'm lucky enough to find them.

The JetBlue terminal at JFK has decent food choices, and their "take and fly" food counters are priced surprisingly reasonably. And with "The Grove" stands, there are some vegetarian selections - well, at least fruit smoothies and juices, and trail mix.

Jane · « **Reply #286 on:** July 27, 2008, 04:57:40 PM »

I can't drink a lot of juice or eat trail mix. A small yogurt fruit smoothie would be ok, even sounds good. If only JetBlue came to Medford.

Just finished a really marvelous debut novel by Andre Aciman, Call Me By Your Name.

Beautiful, and beautifully written.

Jane · « **Reply #288 on:** July 27, 2008, 05:00:20 PM »

I forgot, I can't eat regular yogurt before flying. I doubt airport stands use goat yogurt.

Jane · « **Reply #289 on:** July 27, 2008, 05:02:00 PM »

Thanks for the book suggestion DR Singdaw.

Cell-phone-transfer vibes to Larry

Vibes for Bruce. The new estimated departure time is 8:20

Jane · « **Reply #293 on:** July 27, 2008, 05:28:31 PM »

I wonder how the DR sisters are doing. Weren't they returning home today?

Jane · « **Reply #294 on:** July 27, 2008, 05:30:06 PM »

I show one JetBlue flight from JFK to Portland and it was canceled.

I'm just wondering - and hoping - they didn't put everyone on the plane and then have them sit on the tarmac for the past couple of hours.

Kerry · « **Reply #297 on:** July 27, 2008, 05:34:15 PM »

No, they are still not on the plane - the plane is there, and so is the crew, and the bags are loaded - but there is no pilot! I won't talk about it too much, since I'm sure it will all be in the notes.

Hmm... I would have saved myself the frustration factor and headed back into the city.

*And I'm guessing the pilot was supposed to come from one of the inbound flights that got cancelled.
