At dinner, my father actually said that he would be willing to get on an airplane if my mom wanted him to. That is momentous because my dad has not been on a plane since he retired. He reluctantly went on business trips for work but hated every minute of it. Now that driving is becoming a chore he is actually considering flying as an alternative. I'm writing this as back-up documentation of his little announcement. My mom was so surprised that she ran and got a pen and paper and had him sign a note confirming his willingness to fly. Maybe next year they will fly down here for the winter like real snowbirds. I really hope they do. My mom is really enjoying herself and I hope my dad is too. Now I just need to make this rain go away...

On the A Team, they always had to give Mr T some milk with pills in it to make him fall asleep. The they put him on the plane. Is that what the milk you delivered was for? :)
I recall them using less low-key methods for getting him on planes.
Too funny. I was never allowed to watch it enough to remember that. My mom and I joked about drugging my dad's chocolate pudding. He might never eat pudding again. :P
How funny. I just decided to fly again, too. I am tired of the 1200 mile drives up to see the parents. He must be getting tired, too.
