Random Thoughts

I have a few random thoughts from the past week...

  • NBA Draft -- I think my worst fears came to fruition on Thursday. Joakim Noah, the freak of nature, is now a Chicago Bull. Great. It's a good thing I don't watch a whole lot of NBA hoops.
  • Flying -- I think that Beth had a realization this weekend. Flying rocks. We went to Evansville, IN for her cousin's wedding. Here's an interesting comparison based on events (not exaggerated):
     Beth's ParentsUs
    1330 CDTLeave Arlingon Heights, ILPack
    1530 CDTSit in Traffic somewhere in Chicago areaLeave Mount Prospect
    1700 CDTFinally on 41Wheels up @ LL10 (we had to kill some time)
    1830 CDTAre we there yet? No.Oops, we can't land until 1900, time to slow down
    1903 CDTAlmost to Terre HauteLand in Evansville
    1930 CDTPhew. Terre HauteHeaded to dinner
    2100 CDTAlmost thereeeeChecking into hotel
    2115 CDTWe made it! 
    I am now required to get my instrument rating so that there are more chances for us to fly down there (she likes to go down there at least once a year, usually 2-3 times). It also increases the probability of us going elsewhere, too.
  • Weddings -- I heard a saying that if it rains on a wedding, it means good luck--or irony. What does it mean if you get a military flyby (and you aren't military)? It just so happened that the church was between the airport and the location along the river for the Evansville Freedom Festival--also the reason we couldn't land before 7 on Friday. Right after the pastor said "You may kiss the bride" I heard a 2 or 3 ship flight outside. Obviously I couldn't run outside and look (as is my normal inclination), but I thought that it was pretty neat. There was also an F-117 doing passes as we were driving to the church from the hotel.
