Well, hopefully we’ll get to Arkansas today. We’re traveling US Air (US Scare, as Jim calls them), and not surprisingly our flight is delayed, which makes the connection shaky. Oh well, the party doesn’t start until 6:30 pm so we should make it in time for that.

The airport driver asked where we were headed and looked at us in amazement when we said Arkansas. We gave him an abbreviated version of the reason for the trip. He was doubly amused when he saw my cowboy boots – what else would I wear enroute to a Country & Western dance in Fayetteville?
