I was supposed to be at my 30th high school reunion tonight. I even helped organize it from afar. I was flying for free, as a "nonrevenue" customer through Bonnie's sister Donna, who works for Midwest Airways. Got on the flight on Friday morning no problem. But five minutes into the flight we dropped about 500 feet in a couple of seconds and did a 180 turn. The pilot then came on and said we had a little problem with the power in jet number 2 and needed to head back to the airport "as a precaution." He also told us not to be alarmed by all the emergency vehnicles that would be lining the runway upon our arrival. "Just a precaution." Well, we landed safely, but the flight was cancelled. And that meant 120 people looking to fill every available seat on every other flight to Milwaukee. Soooo, no seats for Jim without paying $$$$$$. As a "precaution" I took the hint and stayed home!
Bonnie had already bailed on my reunion months ago for a better offer. Diane, Alicia and Bonnie are in New England for a 5-day gal's getaway. A couple of days in Boston and then up to Cape Cod. No sightings of any Kennedys.........yet. They seem to be having a great time. As for me, instead of toasting the magnificent Tosa East class of 1977, I'll be raising a can of Milwaukee's Best with Dusty and Anna Belle over a TV dinner. Whoopie!!!!
