BACK TO MY WORLD

HI, ITS BEEN A WHILE BECAUSE I HAVE HAD NOT MUCH TO SAY.
SO, THIS PAST WEEKEND I HAD SOME INTERESTING STUFF HAPPEN.
MY OLDEST SON AND HIS WONDERFUL WIFE WENT TO DENVER FOR THEIR YEARLY VACATION.
I WAS WATCHING THE TV EARLY ON SATURDAY MORNING WHEN I HEARD THAT LA GUARDIA AIRPORT WAS BEING EVACUATED.
MY KIDS LEAVE FROM A SMALL AIRPORT ON LONG ISLAND SO I FIGURED THEY EITHER CHANGED AT ATLANTA OR WENT TO ANOTHER AIRPORT.
WELL, MY D.I.L. CALLED ME SATURDAY EVENING..SO EXCITED, SO NUTS, NOT LIKE HER. SHE IS KINDA A LAYED BACK PERSON. SEEMS THE DRIVER WHO PICKED THEM UP AT 4AM AND BROUGHT THEM TO LA G. HAD TO LET THEM OFF ON THE PARKWAY. THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WALKING AROUND. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON..SHE SAID THEY WERE WALKING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY (GRAND CENTRAL) THEY WERE TO BE ON A 6AM FLIGHT. THEY MADE THEIR WAY TO THE TERMINAL. THE ANNOUNCER WAS SAYING IF U HAVE A FLIGHT BEFORE 7AM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LEAVE, EVERYBODY ELSE HAS TO WAIT AS NO PLANES WERE LANDING OR LEAVING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
SEEMS, AS I LATER HEARD ON THE 5PM NEWS THAT A MAN WHO SEEMED TO BE HOMELESS WAS WEARING BATTERIES AND WIRES AROUND HIM. HE WAS THE TERRORIST. (THANK GOODNESS HE WAS JUST A JERK). SO THEY CLEARED THE AIRPORT. IT IS AMAZING WHAT ONE DUMB PERSON CAN CAUSE. MY KIDS SAID THAT PEOPLE WERE VERY GOOD WITH THE SITUATION. NO ONE WENT WILD WITH FEAR. GOOD OLD NEW YORKERS ARE AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE OF 9/11. SCARED YES, BUT CALM..TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORTER, THEY WERE NOT SURE IF THEIR LUGGAGE MADE IT ON THE PLANE (IT DID), THEY ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL IN DENVER AT 1:30AM..THE HOTEL WAS CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT. JUST A FEW LIGHTS ON, BUT ON A LIMITED STAFF..LUCKILY THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THEIR ROOMS. WHAT A START TO A VACATION...I HAD A FEELING THAT THEY WERE IN THAT MESS. I WATCHED IT ON TV. LIVE FROM NYC..TA-DA.
I HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING TOO WELL LATELY, JUST A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS..LIKE I PASSED A STONE WITH A WIRE ATTACHED TO IT..AFTER THE REPORT CAME BACK FROM THE LAB, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A STAPLE FROM AN OPERATION I HAD 19 YEARS AGO..MY DOCTOR WAS AMAZED AS WAS I.
I ALSO HAD A LITTLE CANCER THING REMOVED FROM MY LEG. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO THE POOL FOR 6 WEEKS..SO THIS PAST WEEKEND, HERE IN THE FLORIDA HEAT, I FINALLY GOT THERE FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...
SO THATS IT FOR NOW, HOPEFULLY I WILL HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO REPORT THAT IS A DOWNER......SO SEE YA
