Needless to say a "no-go" decision this morning. I really wanted to be there today to watch the kids play ball and share a trip with my brother to the Mid Atlantic Regionals'. I guess the greatest lessons learned in the last year were patience and professionalism, so here I sit.

I know, it's better to be on the ground wishing I was in the air then to be in the air wishing I was on the ground........I don't feel any better.

I am looking forward to this weekend and hopefully better weather so Mary and I can take to the sky.
