10 days before I go on vacation. 10 days before I get to spend some time with my cousins from the East Coast. The right side of the country. I will get up at 3:45AM on the morning of the 23 rd and be ready to catch the Super Shuttle to the airport. My first flight is the weakest link in the whole trip. It is a leg to Las Vegas and when I went this time last year my flight was cancelled because of terrific wind surrounding Vegas. I swore I wouldn’t do that again but here I am, next year doing the same thing. My memory, God bless it. It needs a lot more than God’s blessings. It needs a complete overhaul. Hah! But other than that I will be in DC at 530 PM EST and will be sitting down for chow with my cousins that night. Halina Dabrowski is who I’ll be staying with. David King, her by law now, husband and their 3 boys, Noah, Joe and Matthew. At least I think that’s where I’m staying. They’re supposed to be tearing down their house and building a new one.
