Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

My parents poor parents, who live in the Denver area, are trying to make it down here to Big City with no luck so far due to the massive storm there. They had quite the day yesterday. Here's an excerpt from an email my dad sent to a work colleague this morning that he copied me on:


"Recap of yesterday's Trains, Planes, Buses, and Automobiles:

6:00 AM - left for airport
8:00 AM - boarded plane
2:00 PM - deboarded plane
2:30 PM - train to terminal (piece of cake!)
4:00 PM - found luggage among thousands
4:30 PM - unable to get to parking lot, we boarded Boulder bus
9:00 PM - dropped off at Louisville Safeway in 30 inch snow level (in tennis shoes)
9:45 PM - arrived 2 blocks from home by police car, yes... both of us in the prisoner's seat (bullet-proof plexi glass and all!)
10:00 PM - we, shuttling 3 fifty pound suitcases through 200 yards of 30 inches snow, arrive whence we began.
10:45 PM - I shut my eyes and say my prayers: "God, why have you done this to me", the answer he replied: "there's just something about you that pisses me off!"

Besides all that, we have crying grandchildren in Mexico City.

I'll let you know the next chapter.

Job (his last name)"

They already bought new tickets for tomorrow that we think are going to have to be changed to Saturday. :(

I love them for trying!!!
