Sometimes a delayed flight isn't such a terrible thing...
God's got a plan, man...'twas my off Monday, so we were free, free, FREE!! to spend some serendipitous time with the Baby Bro. Poor guy got rooked into the usual craziness of a Zoo Crew afternoon that also included some kewl (not so?) bonus features of Patrick's retrieval from a broken down school bus, Katie's lacrosse practice and a *really* messed up dinner order from the wing place. It was soooooooo good to see "Uncle No Hair" (Patrick's name for him) and give him some in person lovin' before he finishes up this tour. 
And, hey...in case we haven't told you--We love you and deeply appreciate your service to our county.
After a long-awaited R & R visit to his family in California, Baby Bro was headed back to parts sandy. He was going to be in the local airport for a brief 90 minutes Sunday night, but that wouldn't have been long enough for even a
hug stop on his way through customs. So we prayed for him and wished him God Speed on his long journey.
Fast Forward to Noon on Monday and a ringing cell phone...first two legs of Baby Bro's trek were delayed long enough that he missed his flight out and he was kickin' it at a local hotel. So yours truly, (aka: Big Sis) hit the road with the Abbinator to rescue Baby Bro from the perils of waiting in the hotel lobby 'til the next flight at 11 pm. YAY!
