Hubby made the mistake of booking his work travel flight through Chicago. He made it there from DSM, but sat off the runway for half an hour waiting for their arrival gate to the. Said it was white put conditions. And he said his next flight was listed on time still.
We may have paid a couple hundred more, but we refused to go through O'Hare on our trip. It's the worst airport in the country in December.

He knows better, he was probably trying to save the company money. He is a cheapskate. Paying for it now, though.

@stormchaser2014 Has your sister's HS team started play yet? I guess Nevada started while I was on vacation. This season Nevada has been moved from 3A to 4A. Don't see how we are big enough to be 4A while Gilbert with all the Ames runoff is still in 3A. I doubt we make a state appearance with the upgrade in class but we do have a home game with the #1 team in 3A Pocahontas Area.

Yes, 4-0. Destroying everybody. Best chance in years to win conference since every other school lost all their seniors.

Must be a fine line between classes because enrollment that they use for classification is only 19 student difference between Nevada and Gilbert. They only count grades 9-11 enrollment. It used to be that my daughter's class (currently 8th grade) was the first class over 100 students, but classes have just over that now because 9-11 is like 337.

I guess all class sizes are different. My graduating class was I believe around 125.

Been battling a stomach bug today but I think I am finally turning the corner. Puppy loves the snow and LittleWx enjoyed it until he fell down in it.

Not exactly sure.
Was informed that my son is not wrestling in this JV tournament tonight. I'm elated. Long ways away and is slower than slow pushing 6 hours last year. While Saturday tourneys last that long, weekday ones shouldn't.

I don't remember weekday tournaments at all...until you get to regional/state level at the end of the season, that is...
