No aborted takeoffs other than taxiing and then returning...without trying to take off

Had one aborted landing in SFO, a small plane in the way, and we pulled up, did a go round and landed uneventfully.

One diversion recently, on Southwest, we went to Virginia Beach I think it was, and then took off and proceeded to BWI which was our original destination. The pilot said the weather in BWI had been too bad, and he needed to refuel. Weather cleared in that hour and we had fuel and the flight was uneventful.

I'm always happy no matter what happens in the air, because I am so confident in the pilots and the system and trust their judgment. Haven't let me down yet.
