I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Boy am I tired. Our flight was delayed 2 1/2 hours so it was 2:30 our time when I got home. Vegas was nice but I've had enough of it for a while. I'm glad I went and got to spend some good quality time with my daughter, Mike's parents, Mike's German cousins & his uncle. Uncle Louie is in his 90's and getting frail. He lives in California and can't really take the flight from California to Tennessee any more. Mike's dad is a retired special forces, highly decorated, veteran of several wars/conflicts who made quite a few to many jumps out of airplanes. He has really bad problems with his back and at this point no pain meds can touch it and the doctors have said they have done all they can for him. He commented on the flight home that it would probably be his last flight because he was in so much pain. Mike's mother and dad were in a bac car accident a few years ago & were both badly hurt but his mother got the worst of it. She has never fully recovered & won't make the flight to Germany anymore. They are both getting more & more feble so all things considered this was brobably the last time they will all see each other. Jina (my daughter) had never been to Vegas and had not seen Uncle Louie since she was a pre teen & had not seen the cousins in several years. We all got to spend a lot of good quality time together. I got to go see & tour the Dam that my grandfater helped to build and spend time with my C5 friend, Lori (SSgirl) and got to go our dancing with my daughter. It was a good trip.
On a bit of a sour note, I got a subponea at work while I was there & have to be in court to testify regarding one of my clients on Monday at 1:00. Yuck! Not a good way to start what will be an insane week of work inbetween two spans of days off. But I will be fine as I am already permagrinnin' in anticipation of the Fest! I'll post up some pics later. Jina is about to hit the road for her long drive back to her house near Tallahassee, Fla.
