Fall in LA before Fall in Erie

My Parents Just Exhaust Me!

TODAY WAS WONDERFUL! Maybe fall is finally coming-57 degrees when we started our run at 5:30. CAN I TELL YOU HOW DELIGHTFUL THAT WAS! I actually had on a short sleeve shirt, which ended up being hot before it was over, but I enjoyed the drier and cooler air greatly! We ran 7 and then walked 5. Larry kept on trucking and missed his turnoff on California, but he owed us after leaving off the Forest Circle Loop last week. I never saw him after the first block, so you are not close enough to yell and tell him his error. He is blazing so fast, that an extra mile or so will not hurt him one bit! We did talk about cutting our midweek walk a little shorter as we continue to add miles. We may try to stay within 10 miles or so and not overtax the legs.

We did have an interesting experience while flying home. We only had 30 minutes between flights in Detroit and the flight out of Erie was late arriving & taking off. We literally sprinted from one end of A, through the psychodelic tunnel underground and to the other end of B. They were announcing the last boarding call as we ran the last few yards. The gate lady was not very friendly and said, "We need to close the doors, you need to hurry!" We get on the flight which is full to the brim and they are sitting there waiting on us with everyone else aboard. Talk about feeling like a wart was on your nose! IT WAS NOT OUR FAULT, PEOPLE! Northwest was not a real good experience, but the last flight attendant may have redeemed the company for them. She was a character!

We played Speed Scrabble while in Erie which is a fun version of the old game. We each won a game and called it quits. The Jennings have the advantage of practice over us, but we aren't so slow and old that we can't catch on.

Tonight is small group and greeting the kids as they arrive at church. I am looking forward to our normal lively discussion as we talk about the "Triumphant Entry". Brother Dicky had a very interesting take on this that we listened to once we got home. I am looking forward to the comments about his new angle on this old subject!
