>>Are you home yet?<<

I got to visit home last weekend. It seemed I blinked and here I was, back in upstate NY.

If you have a moment for what I consider a funny story:

My wife got me a new GPS for my b-day, but it didn’t work (we sent it back). No problem, I have a GPS in my PDA so I figured I could just use that. I told it “Navigate to Rochester Airport.”

So, last Thursday I am driving along to my PDA’s instructions and after about 2 hours I start thinking “I should be seeing the cities named like Genesee about now...” So I look down at my PDA and learn it was taking me to Rochester Airport — in MINNESOTA, not NY!!

What is funny to me is that the scenery from central NY is the same if you go west or go north - barns, grain silos, farmland. I honestly had no idea I was going 90 degrees from where I wanted to go.

I hopped on the phone and rescheduled my flights — got home after midnight but at least I got home...

I turned around (and gassed up) in Cuba, NY. Easy to remember that one!

Take care darlin’ *hugs*
