Never rains in Southern California - Yeah right

This blog is just to try and catch you up a little.  You know how the song goes, “It never rains in Southern California.”  I think Barry Manilow sings that song.  Mr. Manilow is a liar.  My last two days in San Diego were ridiculous.  It rained and rained and rained.  That is the bad news.  The good news is that the sun was shining when it wasn’t raining. (Which wasn’t very long at all.)  As I got on the plane at 11:15pm last night, California time, it was raining.  (We were supposed to take-off at 10:45 but they had to change a light bulb.)  As we sat on the tarmac, while they repaired some other part of the plane, it was raining.  When we finally took off at 11:35 it was still raining.  In the air just outside of San Diego, it stopped raining.  When we landed in Charlotte, NC at 6:25am today, it is a beautiful day.  I am so glad to be back on this side of the country.  My flight takes off from Charlotte at 9:25 and should arrive in Atlanta at 10:45.  Looking forward to being home today.  UPDATE…UPDATE…UPDATE

They have overbooked my flight and are asking for people to give up their seat.  I have given up my seat and they tell me that if they need my seat I will get a free round-trip ticket to anywhere in the USA.  Instead of getting home at 10:45, it will be 1:10.  Small price to pay for a free ticket.

Like a said, just a note to catch you up.  My next few blogs will be a little more spiritual.  I hope!
