My husband and I were supposed to leave for the balmy shores of North Caroline (40 degrees or so) yesterday morning. We headed off to the airport (our youngest daughter was nice enough to pick us up as the sun was coming up) to catch a flight to Charlotte, North Caroline. We are visiting children and grandchildren (including our favorite Marine in Jacksonville, NC). Well, to make a long story short, we paid our $30 for luggage, got on the plane, and the plane was broken and never took off. We rented a car, drove home, and hope to leave at some ungodly hour this morning (in the snow). If the pilot says the plane is broken and won’t fly it, I’m ok with that–I’d rather not be flying on a broken plane. However, it seems to me that some compensation would have been very nice.<\/p>\n
Blogging will be intermittent over the next week or so as I will be in balmy North Carolina (when you live in Massachusetts, anything above thirty degrees in January in balmy). Hopefully it will be a quiet week where we can all enjoy the pomp and circumstance of the inauguration of the new President. We need to pray for wisdom for Barack Obama as he takes office. We also need to remember, as the loyal opposition, to be loyal<\/u><\/em> opposition–not people who attack the President for anything and everything, tearing down the respect for the Office of President in the process. You will hear from me frequently in the battle of ideas that is coming–but Barack Obama is a good, family man who has been chosen as our President. He does not deserve to be personally attacked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My husband and I were supposed to leave for the balmy shores of North Caroline (40 degrees or so) yesterday morning.
