With the exception of some turbulence close to home, our plane ride was uneventful. My wife and I arrived late last night after a hectic Thanksgiving week. I was able to upgrade to first class. Ordinarily, I would have been able to obtain a companion upgrade, but we didn’t buy the right ticket (go figure). Anyway, I gave the first class seat to my wife. Chivalry is not dead! After all, I fly first class quite often these days and she doesn’t get the opportunity. At least one of us got to ride comfortably, and with free drinks. I read and watched an old Steve McQueen movie (”The Hunter”) on my laptop
Today, we’re packing up my step-daughter and granddaughters stuff for the move back to Alabama. It’s been wonderful having them stay with us these past few months and I’m going to miss them terribly. Especially my little granddaughter. She’s a single mom who was trying to better herself by attending an esthetician course. She’s being forced to move back to Alabama because the baby’s father has convinced the court that her intent was never to return. Forget the fact that she owns a house in Alabama. What a fiasco the court hearing was! All she wanted to do was extend the current visitation agreement for two more months, so she could complete the course. The judge ruled that she could return, but the baby would have to stay with the father. Of course, she said, “no” and is resigning from the course.
Hopefully, she can transfer her hours to a similar course in Birmingham, Alabama. It’ll take longer to complete (hence, the reason for coming here), but she’ll obtain the same result: a national certification. My wife will probably stay with her while I’m in Korea to watch the baby.
