Woody's in PA!! See Karen's new thread

Gosh, the weather just keeps getting colder!!

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are out for me this week. I teach a homebound student in the evenings, and don't normally get home from her place (the 2 days a week that I am there) until about 9pmish if her mom has questions and wants to talk. So, till I'd get done there, and then get to Philly, we're talking a minimum of 10:30 or 11pm. Not good, and not gonna work when I have work the next day.

I could do Friday, Saturday or Sunday of this week. If Friday, his flight would have to get in well after 5pm. Traffic on Fridays going into Philly is rough, and I wouldn't be able to leave work till 3:30-4:00. Weekdays when I'm working are hard to schedule things after work because I never know when kids are going to want to stay to use the library for research or whatever.

This week is going to be a strange one because I just got a call that one of the teachers I worked with died suddenly yesterday (Saturday). They didn't say how or why, just that he had passed away. So, we're going to be having a disruption of classes for the school psychologists and meetings for kids and all the other fun stuff involved with a death in a school. We had a death of a teacher last school year, and it just rocked the school for a good two weeks. Granted, he was a huge personality in the school, and so vibrant, it just really affected everyone. The teacher that just passed this weekend was newer to the school, and pretty quiet. He taught Spanish class, so not everyone had him, so I really don't know how the kids will react. He was a little negative, always counting the days left for school, so I'm wondering if he actually committed suicide?? He didn't look ill, and never said much really. His wife didn't tell the principal either, so if it was a suicide, the reaction is going to be really mixed. He wasn't well liked, so we might have kids who feel really guilty that a teacher would kill himself, and feel regret that they didn't like him.

Anyway.... I know Leslie really wants to get her house back to normal. Her dogs are acting out, and it's not good (jumping the fence to run away from the puppy, lol), and just having another "baby" to take care of. So, I really hope Woody can fly sooner rather than later. If the cargo holds are all heated and pressurized, then I don't see why there would be that much of an issue, except for the transfers on the ground.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed that the weathermen are wrong again as usual, and it will be warmer tomorrow!

Oooopsie!
I missed seeing Jen's earlier reply ... *scratch* what I said above.

There's a definate "warming trend" at Philadelphia later in the week -
NEXT Saturday and Sunday would be good temperature days with >>>
(SAT: 24* / 39* / 33* and SUN: 33* / 42* / 32*).
Dallas / Ft Worth has a heat wave - temps in the 60s on next Sat & Sun.

The temperature "Issue" is mostly the ground temps during transfer onto and off the aircraft;
but they're NOT going to change or overlook long-standing airline policies for Woody.
Anything below 25* is "too cold to fly" - that's their Rules!

Since Tuesday is out for Jenn; can Woody stay in Texas at Leslie's Ranch till next weekend?

I think tomorrow (Jan 2st) should be considered as a last resort.
