We have been all screwed up the last 36 hours from jumping ahead 2 hours. When we left Denver International Airport the weather was overcast and cloudy. Ascention into the clouds was highly turbulent. We dropped probably [Randy pulls a number out of his head] 10-15 feet with one bump and experience zero gravity for a moment. It was beautiful. Abby and Jessica were really scared. Evie continued to suck on her pacifier as normal and the stewardesses did a song-and-dance about the airline not paying for people to get new underwear no matter how soiled they were. It was not a good time and fun was not had by all.
Upong getting above the clouds Jessica went to the restroom because apparently she was feeling risky. In the restroom the captain turned on the fasten seatbelt sign and we hit more turbulence. More bumps. More Jessica being concerned by herself in a small confined space. Five starts for fun.
We finally arrived here in Indy about 11:50 PM. 20 minutes late, which isn’t bad for all of the detouring the pilot had to do to avoid other storms. He had taken us to more than 40,000 feet [12.2 kilometers] to get above some of the funk and to move faster through the atmosphere. That late we were able to haul tailfin to the terminal gate and debark de flyer. John and Kelsey met us past the insecurity area and we collected all 5,000 pieces of luggage and packed into the Buick (pronounced like Quick, but with a b, like bwick). Fortunately the Peers don’t live 2 hours away from the Indy airport so we got to bed by 1:00 AM. The girls are adjusting to the time zone faster than we are. Of course the biggest issue is that we play games until deep into the night so our sleep patterns are screwed up even more. Last night Jessica spanked me at Risk and then beat John to become the victor of the first full game of Risk I’ve ever played. Before that I had actually only played mission Risk, which has a different strategy.
That is all for now, but I’m hoping that later I can post some pictures or something that will entertain you, the reader.
