3 weeks since my last post?!?

My apologies to all...it's been a crazy 3 weeks. Lots of traveling & family time = little to no blogging. I have much to catch up on, but here's a rundown/highlights of the past weeks...

~Trip to Boston for Steve's cousin's wedding
~Day from hell on our return trip
Highlights:
-A flight attendant looking like Willem Dafoe in drag (see
The Boondock Saints, except with a blond wig) & acting like Queen Bitch
-An ill man requiring medical attention, thus diverting our flight to Buffalo, NY. If you're 58 with high blood pressure, diabetes and in generally poor health with a laundry list of issues, DO NOT fly the day after you get married, as you've probably spent most of the night drinking way too much and sleeping far too few hours. As a gentlemen behind me put it: "He got married yesterday. He probably just realized what he got himself into." Not only did it take them 20 minutes to get the poor guy off the plane because they couldn't figure out how to get him out, we sat in the airplane for a total of 2 hours waiting for Buffalo to get their act together & send us on our way. Thankfully the guy was recovering & not experiencing a true medical emergency, otherwise it would have been a body bag. When you land at the airport BEFORE the ambulance arrives, despite the fact they had at least 20-30 minutes notice of our landing, you know you're in for trouble. Note to self: don't land at the Buffalo, NY airport with serious medical emergency.

~Wasting away 8 hours in the Salt Lake City airport because Casper, WY has only two flights in from SLC. At least they have a few good brews in the airport to help pass time.
~Flying to Eugene, OR to see the family.
~Hanging out with the family, Peter, & Tom in Sisters, OR (my new favorite town)
~Running the Sisters Poker Run (punked out & ran 20 miles instead of 32...fair enough)
~Flying back home, seeing my pups & Steve & getting a chance to breathe from all the traveling.
