Guessing game begins again
Well. Would you look at that. Apparently, I can't read a map as well as I claim to.Calgary, Chicago--what's the difference, right?
Yes, I'm in Calgary, not Chicago, and if I've had to blatantly lie through my teeth to you about that any time in the past few months, I'm terribly sorry. Not really, actually. It was worth it to see the reactions yesterday and today when I showed up on people's doorsteps.
I have an entry about all this already written, but it's on my computer. I'm at my parents house, and have no way to connect my computer to the internet. And so... I have to start from scratch.
Anyways... my flight was scheduled to leave New York on Tuesday at 5:35, so due to the strike, I called a car for the airport at about 1. Got to the airport in plenty of time, was checked in and ready to go way before my flight was scheduled to leave, and then discovered that my flight was delayed, thanks to the strike, because the crew couldn't get to the airport on time. We ended up not taking of until almost 7:30, which got me into Minneapolis about 3 minutes after my flight to Calgary was scheduled to take off, so needless to say, I missed that one.
It was actually not that bad, though. The airline put me up in a hotel, and I got a nice little relaxing evening and a bit of sleep-in. No luggage to check in the morning, so it was an easy trip through security, and that was that.
Then, I spent yesterday and today shocking as many people as possible, and surprisingly, despite my sister's notoriously big mouth when it comes to keeping secrets, and despite my dad's and Jen's last-minute attempts to spoil the surprise via my blog comments, we managed to keep it a surprise for nearly 2 months! No one had a clue, which was, obviously, kind of the point.
Now... I've got 2 weeks off. Nothing scheduled (although my daytimer is beginning to fill up), no work, no assignments... nothing. Just hanging out and spending time with people on their schedules and timetables.
So that means... if you're in town, and you want to get together for coffee, I'd love to! Email me or call me (although you'll have to call either at my parents' or call my New York cell, because I don't have a Calgary cell at the moment), and we'll hook up. I'd love it! :o)

Once again, I just want to say I'm SORRY! I hope that you have a wonderful time in Calgary.
It's OK, Jen--no harm done. She pulled it off anyway, and pulled the blog comments off pretty fast, too. I must admit that when Lloyd told me what he had commented, I didn't think, either. Merry Christmas!
Mrs. A.
Merry Christmas to you too, Mr and Mrs A! :)
