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):
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.Beth's Parents Us 1330 CDT Leave Arlingon Heights, IL Pack 1530 CDT Sit in Traffic somewhere in Chicago area Leave Mount Prospect 1700 CDT Finally on 41 Wheels up @ LL10 (we had to kill some time) 1830 CDT Are we there yet? No. Oops, we can't land until 1900, time to slow down 1903 CDT Almost to Terre Haute Land in Evansville 1930 CDT Phew. Terre Haute Headed to dinner 2100 CDT Almost thereeee Checking into hotel 2115 CDT We made it! - 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.
