Mom, DD and I dined at the Cracked Barrel last evening. Tracey didnt join us because she had some last minute errands, laundry and packing to do before her trip this morning to Philadelphia. She will be spending 4 days in the City of Brotherly Love (a.k.a. Crime Capitol of America). I will be taking her to the airport soon so she can get on a plane at 6:00 this morning. I am supposed to pick her back up on Wednesday evening.
Update: 5:28 a.m. I just got back from dropping Tracey off at the airport. Just before we left this morning I checked the website and her flight number wasnt there. We went to the airport and discovered her 6:10 a.m. flight had been changed to an 8:00 a.m. flight and her connecting flight from Chicago to Philadelphia had also been changed. Nobody bothered tell us. We should have checked last night and didnt. So instead of getting there a couple hours early so she can take a nap to get rid of her jet lag Tracey will be scrambling to get checked into her room and ready for her first meeting this afternoon. Modern customer service. Charge hundreds of non-refundable dollars for an airplane ride and then change your flight schedule without bothering to tell you.
Update 2:50 p.m. I got a text message from Tracey with the hotels phone number so I gave her a call. She filled me in on all the troubles she has had so far. She arrived in Chicago after a half hour flight and then spent at least another half hour waiting on the plane to get a terminal space to unload them. She ate breakfast at an airport Thai restaurant which sounded interesting and yucky all the same. Oriental bacon and eggs. When she finally landed in Philly and called the shuttle, the shuttle was late and then they had to wait a long while until there were 10 people to fill the van for the trip to the hotel. And of course her room wasnt ready so she ended up taking a hike around town for a while. She said she still might get a short nap in though and was setting her bleeper so she could try to snooze for a while. The saga continues ...

Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse were up in a hotel room and decided that they wanted to have sex. Well, the first thing Minnie asks is, Do you have a condom?
Donald says No.
Minnie tells Donald that if he doesnt get a condom that they cant have sex and suggests to Donald that he go buy a condom. She says that maybe they sell them at the front desk.
Donald proceeds to go downstairs and gets to the front desk. He asks the hotel clerk if they sell condoms. The clerk says yes we do and pulls one out from under the desk and gives it to Donald.
The clerk asks Would you like me to put that on your bill?
Donald says NO! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM, SOME KIND OF PERVERT?
