Ready to wing back to Valois on Monday

SACRAMENTO, Calif., USA - My faculty office has been cleaned, textbooks ordered and the various course outlines, well, ok, they are not done, but I have them on my laptop.

And with a stroke of a pen today, Sabbatical will be transferred back to former owner Don Tiffin for the next round of cruising.

All of that adds up to a very early morning flight Monday back to upstate New York via Midway Airport in Chicago. We are returning via Southwest Airlines - about the friendliest of skies to fly these days. The planes might be a little small but the flight attendants are, well, attendant and even going cross-country, it's not a bad flight.

I do need to find a good book to read, however.

On our last fly-through at Midway, we stopped at a Blues Brothers display to check things out and I had my photo taken with Elwood and Jake. Well, my photo was taken with plaster replicas anyway.
