so ray arrived home yesterday on schedule. what an ordeal that was. so we finally decided that we were going to go to the airport (once ray's sister and family peeps arrived -- brand new baby). krista walked out to the civic to put isabelle in the car and get ready to head out. as she leaned into the front door someone came down the street and almost clipped the door right off! i am still floored, and i think that the more krista thought about it, the more agitated she became. everything is better now. the car has been sealed up and is waiting to be taken to a repair shop on monday. they got a rental thanks to the wonder that is charlie fortner and volvo. by their powers combined they are a taxi service.
so anyway, we get on the road. it is michael and michelle in the car behind me and mn and isabelle, while everyone else sits on the sidewalk waiting for the cops to show up. the traffic is insane, and we started to fear that would keep us from getting to the gate on time. that sent mary nell into a nearly feral rage (not that she can be blamed at all -- krista said that if she had to sprout wings out of her ass to make it there on time, she would have). we saw kate pass us on the way, so that was good -- at least someone would be there. we arrived at the parking deck, and decided that marynell should go to the gate. so she took the run-through, and left. i parked the car, and took the baby to the gate. michael and michelle followed. kate tried to accompany us, but i made her go to the gate and keep marynell company. fortunately, ray had not yet arrived, and butch was waiting at the gate watching marynell run down the concourse. mikex0r was there too. but he and butch had not yet met. whoops.
anyway, it all worked out. when ray got off the plane, kate and marynell and i burst through the run-through and flawlessly assembled ourselves into a human pyramid (with mn on top) ray smiled through the embarassment, and we went and got his bags. then we came home, ordered pizza, fucked around a little and just generally hung out until ray absolutely could not stay consious any longer. so marynell 'put him down' and we all took off for home. now it is time to go back and make a big 'western-style' breakfast. and goof off.
and be glad that ray is home.
