I’m glad Steve was happy about it all. Music is always uplifting.

In other news, the European Vacation isn’t happening. Because American cancelled that flight, it made it impossible for them to go. I tried to suggest things, but I’m just the stupid mom. They would have had time to make that 17 miles from JFK to Newark (5-hour lay-over) if they had just gone ahead and taken ground transportation. NY has some of the best.

But they opted to drive to Memphis to catch a flight to DC and then found out that was even farther from Newark. So at this point, they will be coming home. Perhaps they will brainstorm, perhaps not. But they could have made it work.

But one never tells PW she has options that she hasn’t thought of first.

Somehow, I knew this wasn’t going to happen.

Wow, that’s bizarre. They didn’t know where D.C. was located relative to Newark and JFK?

If I were you, I would look sad, nod, and say, “Uh huh,” a lot.

In other minor weirdness, DP had written “Spaghetti Salad” on the food list for the campout. I would have been happy to prepare Spaghetti Salad, if provided a recipe, but eventually, it turned out that he meant, “Spaghetti and salad,” which is something different.

Sally said, “I thought it was spaghetti salad, too!”

So now I’m making sauce that we can heat up tomorrow evening.
