Kay, You should have come back to the Marriott. There are about 20 of us here waiting to get out later today !!! 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: Kay Craigie [mailto:n3kn@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 8:04 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [ARRL-ODV:11785] Snow far, snow good Who will win the prize (a stale pretzel and some flat soda pop) for being the last to get home from the Board meeting on account of the blizzard? The Philly airport closed before my Saturday afternoon flight could take off from BDL, and between the closure there and the all-day closure at BDL on Sunday ... Well, I toasted the Eagles victory over Atlanta in a hotel bar near the airport. Wearing an Eagles t-shirt into a bar full of Patriots fans is a character-building experience! I'm writing this at my gate at BDL Monday morning about 9 AM, and we are assured the 9:25 AM flight to Philly *will* go, albeit somewhat late. Here's hoping everybody either is home already or will be there soon. Safely. 73 - Kay N3KN/1
