"I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS--MAYBE"

Friday, December 22, 2006

Denver is a great city. I love to visit there. The Denver airport is one of the best. However, I was stuck there one winter day and I didn’t like anything about it.

A snow storm has held travelers at the Denver airport for a couple of days. It has not only affected the travelers in Denver, but thousands across the country. They are saying that flights will start taking off from Denver today. The people flying out today will be those scheduled to leave today. The ones who have been stranded there will be placed on stand-by.

Some of these travelers will not get out until Monday—Christmas day.

Stop! No! You can’t go!

We hate those words. Nobody likes to be inconvenienced—but it happens. Life is tough.
Elvis sang about it, “I’ll have a blue Christmas I know dear…”. My heart goes out to those people stuck in the snow storm. Will good come from all of this? It certainly could. Will they recognize it? Some may. Most probably won’t.

The newspaper reported this morning that Arizona is now the fastest growing state in the nation. The weather in Phoenix is fantastic right now. There will be no white Christmas here and I’m not crying about it. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!
