I am going to Atlanta tomorrow, for the Festival of Homies...um, Homiletics. The packing frenzy has commenced. I get absolutely neurotic about packing - not without reason, as I have a history of forgetting important and obvious things, like directions, pajamas, and socks. People make fun of my obsessive preparation for things, but I know myself, and a little excessive detail in advance is the only way I keep my head screwed on at all. I am, after all, the person who stuck the bulletin into the hymnal in the pulpit this morning, promptly forgot where I had put it, and skipped the reading of the psalm, until confused faces tipped me off that whatever I was doing was not what the bulletin said I should be doing.
Anyway, packing causes me trauma, in part because I'm sort of particular, and also because I'm just one of those people to whom strange things happen. If I bring the black flats, I'll want the black heels. If I choose the heels, a heel will break - even though I've never broken a heel in my life - and I'll wish I brought the flats. I hate carrying things through airports, but if I don't bring the full carry-on arsenal, I'll end up losing my bags and having no clothes at the Fest. And so on.
By the way, does it make sense to anyone else that I have to fly to Chicago to travel from New York to Atlanta?
Back to the packing now. With any luck, I will be at PRUMC tomorrow by 6:30pm without significant negative event.

You have to fly to Chicago because you booked your flight with airline who uses O'Hare as one of its major hubs. Other airlines use other airports as their major hubs. For example, there's on that even uses Atlanta as a major hub. Had you booked with them, you probably would've gotten a direct flight.
I hope you have a safe flight and a good time at the conference.
I had to fly to Atlanta to get to Las Vegas once!

Yep, its the airlines thing. Must have offered you a better deal.
Prayers for you Stacey and your Dad, and family.
