Planes, Trains and Cars

Anyone remember the movie Planes, Trains and Cars? With Steve Martin? That's how my week went. First, work was crazy. Meetings here, scope docs there, training here.....people coming in for meetings, planning for other meetings....
In the midst of that, I left my house at 4:30 a.m. on Thursday to take a United flight to Dallas. In Dallas, Amy met me at the airport, we went and got coffee and then she took me to Love Airport where I got onto a flight to Houston. In Houston, I rented a car (a shiny new 2009 Jeep Cherokee) and drove to Christina's school to pick her up. Houston, by the way, never changes. Humdity, rain, humidity...
I grab some quick lunch (missing that spicy salad dressing at Salt Grass Steak House), pick up Christina and we go back to Houston Hobby, check in and just make it fast enough through security to walk up to the gate and get onto our flight back to Dallas. Still following me?
In Dallas, Daniel meets us at the airport and we go to Houston's for a belated birthday dinner. Sitting with them at dinner, listening to Christina chatter away and her dad answer her many questions....this ended much better than John Candy and Steve Martin's adventure. The planes, trains and airplanes was crazy....but very much worth it.
