It wasn't until later that I learned Mom and Dad were stuck at JFK. They had missed their connecting flight to Ireland the night before. They were stuck there for a week while the airport was closed off to anyone arriving or departing. My sister and her husband eventually drove up from Virginia and picked them up.

The near-misses of travel were all around me. Kristi's dad had just been on his first real trip in years, to visit relatives in - oh good grief, I forget and I'm not going to look it up just now - the little islands off the coast of Germany (is that right?). Anyway, his flight had made it back to JFK just hours before, or who knows how many days and complication it would have taken for him to return. At work, we had people in California who were scheduled to fly back here that very day, and then everything was grounded. It took them a long time even to find an available rental car, which they finally did, and they just hit the road. I don't think they even stopped anywhere to sleep, they just took turns driving.

Twenty-three years ago my alarm went off tuned to my favorite jazz station, KCSM. The morning DJ Alisa Clancy came on and said something like, "If you're just joining us, you don't want to be here right now. Go turn on your TV. When you're ready, we'll be here for you."

Back from banking. I have a one-thirty phone thing and I'll go to the mail place right after that. Thinking about eating now rather than later.

At first I read this as you thought she was given the questions ahead of time.  I read that from someone ahead of the debate since it was report Harris was preparing for it.  ::)

At the state, we are to refrain from discussing politics at all.

I think that is an excellent policy.

At this time 23 years ago, I would have been sitting down and having my first cup of coffee at work.

Forty-five minutes later, everything changed.

I was living with my sister and niece at the time, and I was awakened by my sister yelling, "Oh, my God! Oh, my god!"  Over and over again.

That must have been a very scary awakening.

Random question of the day:

Why, in Whistle Down the Wind, does the lyricist rhyme "here" with "underwear"?

That's a very good question.

Was it perhaps written by an underwear wolf?
