This used to be cool…
I remember the first few times I got asked to fly somewhere for a meeting. I couldn’t believe someone thought it was worth paying for a plane ticket to have me sit in a meeting! (I still question people’s wisdom on that at times.)
Maybe it is because we always drove everywhere when I was growing up, but I remember those first flights I had where I was amazed I could start the day in one part of the country and a few hours later I was in a totally different region.
Those days are gone. Now I’m sitting in the airport on a Monday night trying to get back to Chicago. Flight delayed…so I’ll get to my house about 1:00am instead of midnight. Yesterday was…up early with time change…preach three times…visit a dear lady in our church (Linda Barnett, it was the 3rd anniversary of her husband Eddie’s death)…rush to the airport…fly to New Hampshire…connect with my friend and former intern/staff member Chris Snyder.
Today was a drive into Boston a couple of good meetings a drive back to New Hampshire…after a couple phone meetings I’m just waiting for the plane. Just looked at my schedule and I’ve got 6 more flights like this already scheduled between now and November…3 more in the next 7 weeks.
OK. I’m done whining now.
Wow, I hope those flights don’t interfere with your commitment to the church softball team.
yeah, I’m praying for a couple of rainouts in May already.
hehe
that’s funny
i still think it’s cool since i don’t get to do it
but with regards to my travelling sister, i get upset when they make her travel ad infinitum so much so she never gets work done or rest
