Let's hear it for the Wright brothers

I flew to Colorado last week. We had to change planes in Phoenix, AZ. What my thoughtful husband neglected to inform me of was that the plane we were transferring to had propellers. Yes, actual propellers. Right outside the window. The good news about that was if the propeller flew off, it would most likely have come right in the window and chopped my head off, saving me from a long, slow, terrorizing fall from the sky to my fiery death. That would be the silver lining, I suppose. For someone who doesn't fly well, it was a bad, bad day. Then, 6 days later...back on that stupid airplane! At least the second time it was taking me home, so I actually wanted to get on. I missed this lovely state. At times it didn't seem like I would survive the boredom of Montrose, Colorado. Would you like a list of the good and bad things about Montrose? Here you go:
Bad Things1. It's quite hot in July2. It's 15 minutes from my in-laws house to the "town"3. The highlight of the week was a trip into Ourey (an even smaller town)4. Boring conversation5. Slow drivers6. Lots of bugs7. Mother-in-law (enough said)8. Orange sherbet ice cream with chocolate chips (it's real)9. Nip/Tuck was not approved10. SIX DAYS IS A LONG TIME
Good Things1. I don't have to go back for at least two years2. The doctors say the scars on my wrists should fade completely by then
