Christmas schedule??

Hi all,

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted here (or even looked in) but Freya's dizzying Christmas dancing was worth coming back for! (How did she keep from falling over at the end??)

I had an interesting trip this week. I went to LA on Sunday, then came back Tuesday through Detroit, but Northwest couldn't get us in to Mitchell Field because of the snow. They rerouted us to Grand Rapids, MI, where we almost collided on landing with another rerouted plane, then we got to stay at a lovely hotel in Grand Rapids for the night. The next morning they still wouldn't let us take off for Milwaukee, then they announced that they would be flying us back to Detroit to find us another plane back to Milwaukee! That's when I lost it. I called the work travel agent, who found me a car from Hertz, and I got up in the plane and said "I'm driving back to Milwaukee! If anyone wants to car pool, I'd be happy to share the ride!" Only one guy took me up on it--I had expected to be fighting people off with a stick! Anyway, we made it to Milwaukee in 4 hours, and planes still didn't seem to be landing at Mitchell Field!

I'm wondering how Christmas plans are shaping up? I'll have the kids the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd, although Nemo works on the 23rd. His shift is supposed to start at 1, but he can push it back to 4 or so, but that still kind of cooks the day for us. So, Saturday would be better for us... it all comes down to what the New Jersey folks are up for!

Next Tuesday Capri debuts as Scrooge in her school's production of A Christmas Carol! Can't wait!

Love to all,

Mark
