Wife is in harms way, worried and pissed (Updated)
Aug 18^th, 2008 at 2:54pm

08/22 - she is home safe and sound. Thank you all for your caring and concern.

The wife's new VP called for a manditory meeting, scheduled two weeks ago, that should start at 3pm today in the Orlando Area. 20 people flying from different parts of the US all heading into Faye.

Why the hell he didn't pull the plug and reschedule is beyond me -- other than a power trip.

Hopefully she will get held up in Atlanta until the storm blows over.

Thanks for listening.

Why send 20 people into something that could easily have been avoided. Rant over.

They'll no doubt get some weather, but it shouldn't be in the center of the thing. I'm monitoring what's going on with Faye via my mom, and my brother and his family. They live between Orlando and Tampa. Best, George

Just heard from Pam. She is in Orlando, listened to two kids screaming on the plane for 3 hours, schools are closing and the car rental is balking at releasing cars. Needless to say she's bound just a little tight right now. (shhhhhh - glad I'm in Kansas and out of the line of fire).

I suggested going to the bar having a couple glasses of wine and then calling the hotel bus or hiring a limo or taxi. She's got a corporte card - charge it!!

Posts: 4544 Overland Park, KS Gender:	Re: Wife is in harms way, worried and pissed -updated Reply #17 - Aug 18^th, 2008 at 8:43pm She's there and in her hotel room. She says its raining like crazy. I think she stopped by the bar. Oddly she is staying in a room we stayed at together about 10 years ago when she visited me while I was there for a month. So sweet, she was tearing up. She misses this bald old fart.

Just talked to Mom again. She tells me that other than some rainstorms, it's no big deal where she's at. Farther south, though, there's been some serious wet. Hope everyone at CH.com who lives down that way is doing okay. ???? Best, George
