flight delayed

[fflo]

There's a Northwest Airlines first officer flying from Detroit to cover for the officially insufficiently rested potential crew members who were originally supposed to fly my ol' buds here from Back East. In the end I'll have at least an extra 2.5 hours here in which to prep for their arrival, but all that's meant is being able to sweep everywhere & take some junk down to the basement---yet there's always more one can do. Got a few dishes to do up & still need to hop in the shower. Could maybe fold the rest of the laundry. Maybe I'll zip out to the goes-out-at-1-on-Saturday mailbox down the road to send back my Netflixflix, and possibly even pick up a food item or two to have onhand, as I got nuthin' to offer but a 2-liter of Coke & some squirt cheese.

I also got nuthin' in terms of hard plans for these two. Completely playing it by ear.

Hey, the sun just came out---just like that. First time in 2 days? Wow. It's lighting up the maple leaves that have just lately really cranked it up on color changing.

I love houseguests. In general, and these in particular, too.

Hope the guests arrived safely and in time for y'all to have some fun yesterday!

you can never really complain when the airlines are delayed for safety reasons. How was the visit? i find playing it by ear tends to leave the host less exhausted after the visit's end.

I think you're right about that! I certainly found that staying chill left me with good energy in the aftermath. Though we stayed up until 3 the night before leaving at 5:15 a.m. for their flight home---playing Boggle & then poker, with late-night delivery food. It was sweet, to me, and seemed to bespeak not wanting to part company.

Hey, did you get a place yet? What goes on? I believe you're overdue on posting.
