Just a wee update...

Dean still has posts to write, but in the mean time....after blizzard conditions in Chicago for the past 24 hours or so....we are back in Tucson! American Airlines (who we faithfully rely upon) has a hard time getting this flight (the last one of the night to Tucson) off on time on any given night - even in the dog days of summer, when there are perfect conditions. They rose to the challenge of the first blizzard of the winter in Chicago, however, and by golly they were an acceptable amount of lateness tonight - getting us to Tucson pretty much on time! Just when you think you can predict.....! So, safely back in Tucson (and with me working the next three nights), Dean will get busy and get those posts written that he's been planning! Maj and I kept him busy enough in St. Charles - he didn't have as much free time as he thought he would!
