Peanuts!

I know I just wanted to get a train going saying "peanut" etc after that :D
I'd go for eating a couple hundred apple seeds myself....

Hmmm, perhaps ;)

would it be worth it to stop by for an after-dinner drink or something since it's so close? If the last event is any indication, y'all don't roll up the sidewalks that early ;)

An after dinner drink with the box? Of course it would be worth it!

I was on the IAH-DEN flight that Baglady was supposed to take back to IAH. We didn't arrive into DEN until 7:15 local time. Lots of sitting on the tarmac in IAH and circling DEN for traffic to clear. I decided to upgrade our rental car to an AWD SUV (a nice Mazda CX-7) for some winter type driving. I thought I avoided the winter weather.:rolleyes:

Congrats to Baglady for making it home safely.

I thought about you because I was watching your flight knowing it was the a/c for mine. How did baby photog72 do on that super delayed flight?

But of course ;) I kept explaining to my dad that it wasn't CO's fault that I booked on Great Lakes and couldn't make it to DEN and as much I hated buying a new ticket; I'm really happy right now NOT to be stuck in DEN.

That's what I figured. :) 14.5 miles away from my gig - I should be there by 9:30!

Looks like they just implemented the single month view calendar. :td:

Man, I really need to get over my calendar hatred. :) Therapy, perhaps.

I hope you received my voicemail message. We had a lot to deal with - just because of flying w/ a 5 month old. On the ground (while waiting forever to takeoff) in IAH, baby was bored and crabby, and well... loud. We tried lots of things to keep her quiet. Every so often, one would work. Once in the air, she wasn't that bad. A couple of little outbursts, but otherwise, not too bad. The other pax seemed to be understanding. She was a handful, that's for sure. The snow seems to be over here in DEN. Light rain is falling. I hear the weather is nasty again in Houston. :rolleyes: Thankfully, I won't be there for that!^

I had a wonderful day yesterday drinking my way up and down Napa Valley. Great weather and great company. We left at around 11am and returned home at 9pm. No one got out of control and we were all totally relaxed. Good thing I have today off from work, as I see IAH is dealing with more massive weather. Looking forward to reading all of the complaints about how we can't move customers, etc....
