NJ and Other Things

Just got back from Princeton, NJ and I miss my family severely. When you grow up in a great family I don't think you realize what you have until you are away from them for a long time. This weekend was one of those times where I tried to cherish every single moment that happened over the course of 4 days. Pictures on our Flickr site will be coming soon.

Yesterday I read an article in the NY Times that was talking about Newark airport as the king of New York City airport delays. On average planes can depart anywhere from 15 minutes to a couple of hours late. My sister says "I wouldn't worry about that, most planes are on time it's only a few that skew the departure times." Wouldn't you know that our plane took off 75 minutes late yesterday.

Another interesting thing about this weekend was the fact that I had no idea I got to meet one of the foremost conservative minds in our country, Robert P. George. He is on Bush's bioethics committee and is a professor at Princeton University. What do you think we talked about most of the time? College football and baseball. My father and Robbie reliving their youth talking about all of the great baseball teams they saw while growing up.

Lastly, here is to Lisa and Bob for planning such a wonderful weekend. It is always a joyous occasion when the family can get together and celebrate just a little bit.
