When is the last time you barfed on an airplane? Me? Well let's see...approximately 45 minutes ago. Nice.
It's been a day of travel mishaps. Our flight left late and so I missed my connection in Dallas. The flights were all overbooked and had lots of stand-by passengers already. I begged with the very nice AA gate agent. I used my best "feel sorry for me" eyes and told her where I was going and why. She clicked around on her computer (that always cracks me up...do gate agents have to take a speed typing course??) and found someone who was going to miss her connection. She bumped me up with a confirmed seat. Hallelujah! I didn't even have to threaten to barf on anyone!
Next stop...LUBBOCK!
PS: After writing this, things got weirder. For one, I left my laptop bag sitting on the jet bridge and had to run off the plane to rescue it just as security was about to do a bomb check. Perfect. THEN, we were all sitting on the plane waiting and waiting until the flight attendant came on and said, "We're sorry for the delay, Ladies and Gentlemen, but we have not been able to locate the pilot." Um...excuse me? Yeah--so they waited some more and after several more updates stating that he was still MIA, he finally showed up. I mean, what a bizarre day! The good news is, I'm writing this from my hotel room in LUBBOCK!! Yea!

But it would be awful to get to Lubbock without a good travel story to tell!
Lovely!
See you tomorrow...looking forward to Lubbock, my hometown and congregation (Monterey)
So sorry my friend. Wish I could be there with you and sing my heart out but I am sending a hug your way through Jeremiah and Katie. I have also thrown up on a plane as an adult...not fun.
Ask Lea about our last plane ride to Kansas City and how many barf bags I used up. NINE. Yes, NINE. Long story for another place. Give Rich a hug for me! Much love!
God created Lubbock so Abilene wouldn't have an inferiority complex.
