2019 - Day 347/18 - Friday...Amicable...

There are always bumps along the way, it is just a fact of life, and we deal with it. I bragged a lot about my flights from Austin to Longview, and I fear that cursed it. Or maybe it was just because today is Friday the 13th. Whatever the reason, the flight from Longview to Dallas was about a half hour delayed, which is no big deal. By the time we landed in Dallas, I had a notice on my phone that the flight from Dallas to Austin was delayed about an hour and a half. It got worse from there, but I am home now, and all the inconvenience will be nothing more than an afterthought in a couple days. I had a great late breakfast this morning with Steve, Melinda, Annice, Sharon and Debbie before I headed out to the Longview Area Association of REALTORS® just to say hello. Whenever I visit somewhere, I like to stop by the board office, just for the hell of it. You could not expect a nicer group of people than those in Longview. On the drive home from the airport, the moon was HUGE (HUGE I SAY), and really kind of a blood orange color. The higher it got in the sky, the smaller it got and the whiter it got. Now it just kind of looks like a full moon, even though it was actually full a doy or two ago.
