Leaving on a jet plane...don't know when we'll be back again


Linda and I left Wetumpka for Clemson, S.C. on Friday and met up with the Hankins. Understand, our role as being "all in" with the Auburn Family, is to support our team. Part of our duties is to live well, dine well and drink well. We are on the job. We support our team and looked forward to our meeting with the Clemson Tigers on Saturday. Unfortunately for us, the Clemson Tigers had other plans. Just so there is no misunderstanding, we are "all in". Hankins did accuse me of fleeing the country and not being in Montgomery this week.
We are in Dover, DE now awaiting our seat assignment on a C17 for Europe. If the "space A" gods are smiling on us..then this time tomorrow, we will be in Germany, land of beer, sausage and cheese, reflecting on this past Saturday, looking forward to the future with great optimism.

Space A Adventure Part II 09/15/2011



Part II begins tomorrow. We will be travelling to Clemson with the Hankin's for the Auburn-Clemson Football game. The Hankin's will return to Alabama and prepare for the Auburn-Florida Atlantic game next week end and Linda and I will continue on to Dover AFB or McGuire AFB and take the first space available seat to Europe.
If we are successful in our endeavors, the plan is to go to France for wine and cheese tasting. Then we shall try and get back to the US the next week, get the car and travel to South Carolina for the Auburn game, then home. I will keep you posted.
