Home again, home again, jiggity jig

Or so the nursery rhyme says... It's nice to be back, sleeping in my own bed and being mauled by my affectionate cats again. 

I had a good trip, overall - definitely some emotional moments, including a few during a long night of talking with my friends Paul and Jennifer, who I hadn't gotten to catch up with in a good long time.  Life hasn't been fair to any of us this past year, but their sense of perspective is comforting and I love to be around them.  Too bad we're a thousand miles apart, eh?

In any event, I did some writing while I was gone, but was unable to post at the time - a poem and a long blog post that will be backdated to appear around the time I actually wrote them.  Look for them to be sandwiched in on December 21 and December 23, respectively.

The weather during my trip was bizarre to say the least - early in my visit, we hit 8 degrees Fahrenheit, then we had a day of freezing rain (absolute misery!), then a chilly (but above freezing) cloudy Christmas... and then the 26th and 27th a warm front hit us and it was in the 60's, nearly 70 degrees on the day I flew home, with thunderstorms and tornado watches all along the route. 

The weather at the airport was fine by the time I arrived, but our flight crew got delayed in Florida, so my flight was 1-1/2 hours behind, and as I'd chosen a later evening flight to begin with, I landed about midnight and it was nearly 2 AM by the time the shuttle van service got me home. 

That's probably part of the reason why I found this amusing enough to keep and scan - take a look at the warning note under the ingredients list on my bag of airline peanuts.

Can we say "Well DUH"?
