I'm Leaving on a jet plane...(soon)

Finally some weather like it should be in winter in Massachusetts...



Ahhh... this is more like it ....

Wednesday PM: Lunch with Laura, Mom, Marcela, and Jimmy at Olive Garden. Jimmy goes through 12 baskets of garlic bread. Noonan family put on Olive Garden blacklist. Jamie, Andy, and Ethan visit Laura's for pizza. Ethan brings down entire Internet by random clicks on Laura's laptop. Dad cleans up in Scrabble game, beating Scrabble veterans Mom and Laura by 20 points.

Thursday AM: Outside temperature in Attleboro reads 20 degrees. Dad goes for brisk 2-mile jog in shorts and a tee shirt. Doctor says frostbite should heal up fine in a week or two.

Plan is to spend 20 minutes programming GPS to go from Attleboro to Hanover, then drive to Hanover around 11:00, ignoring Mom's lament that the GPS is taking us the wrong way. Then drop Mom off in Hanover and spend 20 minutes programming GPS to go from Hanover to Sudbury. Say tearful goodbye to BMW in Sudbury. Then, when limo shows up around 2:30 PM, distract Marcela long enough to sneak Jimmy into backseat of limo and take him back to California with me. Hang around Logan airport until plane takes off around 6:00 PM. Arrive SFO at 9:30 PM unless something goes terribly wrong, which it will. If plane ever lands safely, take BART to Orinda. Then back to work again on Friday. Same-O, Same-O.....

FBI is monitoring all blogs and Mike's concern about the flight is red-flagged. Flight to SFO is escorted by a few FA-18 Hornets. Mike is escorted off plane for questioning. Mike realizes that the FBI agent is the same cop that arrested him for hitch hiking a few decades ago. They spend 10 minutes catching up on the last 30 years and send Mike on his way. I'm disappointed... I have yet to see a reference to LL Cool J's Going Back to Cali... though I can't complain.. not every blog can have song references ranging from Elton John to NWA to John Denver. Take care and have a great trip back. I'll keep my eye out for blogs detailing your daily commute.

Enjoy your flight before you come back to dull old California. Here is something to distract from your fear of the plane crashing:
