1. I'm sitting in the Milwaukee airport waiting on my flight. I was suppose to be here until Friday, but as luck would have it, my meetings ended early and I'm taking the first flight out. It's been snowing since I got here and is so cold. So it makes me wonder why Senga and I want to move back to Utah where there is snow, cold and more snow and cold. South Carolina has been so warm and wonderful, today it's suppose to be in the high 60's, low 70's, that sure beats the 12 degrees here. When we first moved to the South, I was hot all the time. Now I'm cold all the time, clearly I have readjusted to the warmer weather.
So, sitting here in the airport, the nicest man has been chatting with me. He is a former navy pilot and tells me that he hates to fly when they de-ice the planes. I look out the window and see that my plane is being de-iced. He says he would rather land on an aircraft carrier in pitch dark than to take off with ice conditions. If he wasn't such a nice old guy, I'd tell him to please leave and take those negative thoughts with him. I continue to put out the positive thoughts that I will be getting home safely and on time today. So far, so good.
2. I've decided to give up my diet coke and drink more water. It's been three days and I have the headache from hell. The pain killers I'm taking don't even phase the headache. I decided it's not the lack of caffine, but I must be coming down with something. I guess it could be stress...
3. Our Open House is the 19th, I'm certain we will have an offer on the house very shortly thereafter. Then we'll be headed to Utah and find a place to live. We want to live in the SLC area, cause I still need to travel quite often and need to be closer to the airport, but also because we miss the bigger city life. SC has been great, but we are looking forward to being back in a big city where there are lots of things to do and places to explore. Senga wants to live in the Sugar House area, which I hear is rather a nice place to live.
4. This little lady just walked up to the counter to ask if the plane would really be taking off if it's snowing. I need to move seats...

Hope you made your flight, J. Sending good flying vibes your way.
Oh, and the next time you encounter a Navy pilot, tell him you prefer Air Force pilots. They have the smoothest landings. There's a reason they say "hit the deck" in the Navy. 'Cause that's how they land their friggin' planes on those carriers!
I'm curious to know whether you kicked your Diet Coke habit. I hear that's a hard thing to do.
