You're not big enough to make me drink Bud, bud.

But the chili sounds like a bit of alright...if my AWOL gall bladder would let me get away with an atrocity like that.

And my sitch just got WORSE: 2335 DEPARTURE! I should be getting into DC sometime in the early spring.

DAMMIT!!!

You live in Wisconsin. They might not let you across the border.

Anyhow, I vacillated between including your name or just me and Dale's, and finally decided to leave it out.

Just to see if I'd get a reaction.

I apologize for Ohare...the larger of our two airports is not known for its hospitality. I am also so sorry that we were not closer to the airport when you were there...it would have been nice to have met up over a sandwich and a margarita.
