"wheels up"

[fflo]

Here I am, just about "wheels up," at ever so slightly after 10 a.m.

My mother liked to use that expression for the state of road trip readiness, after my father died, with a kind of pleasure that made me think it had been his expression. Sounds like it comes from airplanes, after all, and he did love airplanes.

Off I go!

How exciting!

I'll be sure to do something interesting in your absence so I can tell you about it upon your return.

Nip's in the freezer! There's a baggie of it as well as the shakin' jar...

So glad you're keeping the fellas busy. Got yer phone message, btw---I drove past a few of those ice accidents, and they weren't pretty. Slowed me down good! But as soon as I got into Ohio, the roads were better.
