Having lost my watch this morning I don’t know how long I’ve been flying of how far away I currently am from home. I am on the last flight of the day, for me, though. Then, hopefully, I will get to go get ice cream!!! as a reward for being good during the trip. Yes, I didn’t drink alcoholic drinks, smoke, gamble, flirt, use drugs, drive recklessly, or use bad language the entire trip. Not that I have ever done anything like that. Except perhaps the drive recklessly part but that was in a computer racing game where I flipped my car several times. Actually the being good part was not eating large amounts of desserts, which I was very good and only had a nibble or two sometimes.

This morning we got up fairly early and had a delicious breakfast at Embassy Suites. I do recommend Embassy Suites and as usual this is not a paid advertisement. Some day… We then proceeded to the rental car return. During our stay in Austin Texas we had a white mini-van with a built in DVD player. That was nice. We returned it and then head to our airport terminal. We arrived at least an hour and a half before our flight was even supposed to be boarding but even with our early start we never got on the plane since we got on the previous flight that was going to the same place. We rushed on just as they said they were about to close the door, after being transfered of course, and then we sat and waited. And then we waited some more. Then an announcement came over the system that as there had been some problems with birds in the engines they would have to examine and do maintenance before we could go. About an hour later they were still cleaning and fixing the plane and about the time that our other plane would have left several minutes ago, we were still waiting. There was thunderous applause when the plane finally started moving. As it was, we missed the flight connection that we would have made. Fortunately we were rescheduled onto a flight that went directly to Charlotte, instead of having another stop at an airport to change planes. So on the whole, we are getting back about the same time that we would have been getting back and we get a direct flight.

So in just a few short hours I will have INTERNET AGAIN!!! And that will be a cause for great rejoicing. I’ll probably stay up late tonight using it. And I’ll post my posts that I’ve written and probably write a post about my welcome home etc. As my brothers will probably be at church I doubt they’ll be there but Bucky might be glad to see us.

I have actually been doing quite a bit of story typing lately. Mainly I’ve been working on the basic ideas for a serial story with lots of characters and action. However, knowing the amount of stories I’ve started and haven’t finished yet or worked on much, completion within the next three years may be doubtful. But it is a fun way to pass the time in an airplane. With the current way my ideas are going the story might be better as a plot to a computer game but I may write the story and do a computer game based off the story or visa versa or both at the same time. Anyway I am going to try and do more writing as I do enjoy writing and especially reading my writing. So I think that this is enough of a post for now.
