Trip to Maine

Many have been asking about Diana and mine's trip to Maine (I don't know if that is good English or not that is why I became a preacher). The trip was good. We left on Friday morning and returned Sunday evening. We went up to Maine to see my Godmother get married. I helped in the service by doing a reading and co-presiding with another pastor.

Here are some highlights.

We flew out of Baltimore. That was not too bad. The traffic during morning rush hour was not bad except for an accident near Woodbridge that had a lane blocked that we got caught up in for a few miles. I think people who cause an accident because of reckless driving should lose their license for a minimum of a year. Well, not really. But that is what you feel like when you are in it.

At BWI Airport they had these cool parking garages that have these green lights above each floor that tell you whether the floor is filled or if there are spots available. Then it tells you what row the available spots are in. Then each row has a green light if there are spots available in that row, and then there is a light above each parking spot so you can easily find spots and not be disappointed when there is a Volkswagen Beetle parked in what you thought was an open space.

We flew Southwest. It was O.K. but their boarding procedure is poop! I heard someone refer on the radio to Southwest as "a bad neighborhood in the air!" The flight was a little bumpy, a little late coming home but otherwise fine. I really do not like to fly.

Maine was cold as could be. They were just coming off a warm spell before they got this arctic blast. It was zero degrees one night. That is what we used to call as kids "booger freezing" weather. Anyone who has been in that kind of cold weather knows what I am talking about. Maine is always nice even in the winter, especially in the summer, and has a great pace of life.

We did not take the kids with us and began missing them by the time we got to Baltimore (the first time to leave for Maine!).

If last weekend was not exciting enough this weekend we are going to get our goats! I will post pictures later. And oh, the wedding was really great and beautiful and all that- the bride's dress was exquisite and all those other things we guys notice- yep it was all good.
