Saturday morning we went to Thieo's for breakfast (southern scramble = extreme yumminess with cheese on top). Then myB and I went to my parents' house where we drank and frightened myB with an experience of watching Michigan football with the Perkini. For the record, \PER-kin-eye\ is the correct pronunciation of the plural of my family name.
Then to Eddie O'Flynn's for a pre-show dinner with everyone.
After dinner there was a show of some sort and a get-together at Buck and Molli's. Got back to Lansing around 2. Sunday consisted of getting up a few hours earlier than I wanted and driving down to the airport. Can I say how great myB was to pick me up and drop me off in Detroit?
The flight down was a little more eventful. The flight was oversold, and they were looking for people to take a later flight that day for a free round-trip ticket. I volunteered and got the voucher! So I have have a free round-trip flight back to Michigan (or wherever in the continental US) coming up. I think I'll use it for graduation this spring. Unfortunately, this meant that my flight left at 9:15 instead of 2:50. It's a good think I brought schoolwork! Other than the change in terminals and not getting home until after midnight, there was no further excitement.
I got cheap tickets, but for the fun I had and all the friends I saw, I would gladly have paid more. It was so worth it and I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again at Christmastime.
Yes, I think your parents do like me better than you. (Oh, please...they'd crawl across broken glass for you, and you know it!) I do wish you'd warned me about your parents...particularly your Mother...watching Michigan football. Telling me "they're fans" really didn't prepare me for the experience.
