Home Again

  Well, I'm home. My Grandfather is still in ICU with very little change. Only time will tell what is going to happen. Overall, the trip went well. I spent quite a bit of time sitting in the hospital but I also got to see Peg (my Grandfathers daughter) who I haven't seen since I was a little kid. I also got a chance to visit with Marianne, a friend I haven't seen in years, and to meet her daughter.
  My Sunday pretty much sucked. I got up and showered and went to put my luggage in the car. Roxy (my sisters dog) jumped up on me and got mud all over me. I went in and cleaned that off with no problem. I got to the airport to turn in the rental car and they mixed me up with someone with a bill 3 times what mine was. I got that corrected. I went through the fun of checking in while being on the watch list and the counter agent forgot to give me a boarding pass. I noticed it before walking away and got the boarding pass issued. Then I went upstairs and decided to get some breakfast. So I ordered the hotcakes and sausage from McDonalds. I sat down and opened the maple syrup. It shot all over the place. It went on the table and all over my pants. I cleaned those up and noticed it on the floor. When I looked closer I found it was on my laptop bag. I cleaned that off and finished eating. I went into the bathroom and cleaned as much up as I could. Then I went through security. When I grabbed my shoes to put them back on I found that they had syrup on them too. So now my hands were all sticky again. I made ANOTHER trip to the bathroom to clean my shoes off and wash my hands again. About the only good thing that happened was when I was leaving BWI. A bus from the Red lot came through and picked me up even though I was parked in the blue lot. I thanked him for saving me the wait for the blue lot bus and tipped him well. Now, I'm home watching the race...Go Mark! :)
