Old FriendsThe funniest thing. When I was working for the first airline, I ended up finding out that one of the pilots parents lived very near my hometown, which is just funny since I live pretty much in the middle of no where. Anyway, since I have been back and I ran into his father we've kept in touch. He called when he was here last and were catching up on the good ol Lakes crew and where they're all at now days. Well, last week or so I get an email from one of the guys that was an FO with us! How funny! That guy was hilarious! His name was Rob Saul but I always called him Rod Small. Anyway, we were chatting and he gave me Neuman's email. So I called Rob last night and then we called Neuman on 3 way. How much fun was that to talk to those guys after all those years!? I left Great Lakes (aka Great Mistakes) in March 1998. Those were some of the best days I've ever had!!! We've all been remiscing over the last couple of days. Neuman has a house about 5 hrs from here in MN so we're going to plan on meeting there in Feb sometime. I can't wait!!!!! Rob is still married to the chick that looks like the woman from the Weather Channel and has a 5 year old little girl. Neuman on the other hand, has divorced his wife. I always thought he was cute in a very goofy way. They were always so much fun. Hopefully they can put me in touch with other people from those days. The one I'd really like to talk to is Chris Luhman. I miss him. He and I had some good times. I'm trying to talk Julie into coming up and going to Neuman's with us. It'd be like a little GLA reunion! Whoo hooo!!! They said that Harry Gambino is flying for AirTran maybe? That doesn't really sound right. No clue where his ex girlfriend Lori is. She was so nice too. I wonder where Teneyke LaTourette is these days? If I remember right, he went to UAL... He and I always had joked that if we weren't married by the time we were 25 or 30 or something like that, that we'd get married to each other so we wouldn't be alone. How funny! No clue where he is. I think he was from CO.
In other news, Stella had fun shoveling last night after I picked her up from Gretchen's. I think she's really going to like winter this year. She's at a fun age and I can also just ship her outside and she can keep herself occupied. I really need to buy some boots and warm mittens this year so I can go out and build a snowman with her. I took her sled out already. God that was sooooo much fun when I was a kid. Too bad I'm too much of a wimp now! Why is that? Why do we become wimps when we get older? Why is it that the lake seemed so warm when we were kids but as we get older it seems to get colder? Does our skin get thinner? Who knows? I
guess it doesn't really matter does it?
The deer hunter outta be having a good time with the snow! There's a lot of people coming up this next week for Thanksgiving. It'll be nice to see some people that I haven't seen in forever and a day. I hope Hoopy said that he'll be up Tuesday I think. I guess there's a bunch of people going out on Wednesday night since everyone is off on Thursday. I may have to do that. Something different. And if should be fun with everyone in town for the holiday weekend. We have Friday off this year too!!! Whoo hooo! I don't think I've ever had the day after Turkey Day off. Who knows what I'll do? Christmas shopping sounds like a good idea but we'll see. Speaking of Turkey Day. I still have no idea what my plans are. With all of the snow I can't really drive my car out to camp, my apartment is too small to have everyone over for dinner. Kelley thought about doing it at her house but then I'm sure my parents will just come in and leave. Kelley can't just have dinner there and not invite Chris' family. My mom is selfish like that. Well, what is she going to do? Then again, she may not feel like doing much. She's having her eye surgery on Monday. Hopefully all goes well!!!
Ok, another chapter here. Time for me to close! Ta ta for now people!
