We're Home
After more time than should have been required at O'Hare, Katrina and I arrived in Columbus late this afternoon.
Our flight from Des Moines to Chicago was delayed more than an hour because of visibility problems in Chicago. This made us miss our connection by mere minutes and sentenced us to a three-hour layover before United's next flight to Columbus. I passed the time reading John Grisham's latest (a good read, but very different from his usual style) and USA Today.
A big "thanks" to Jennifer and Landon for picking us up at the airport despite the change of plans. (I don't think they read my blog, but we'll go with it anyway.) We had dinner with them before coming home to unpack, read all the Christmas cards that came in the mail while we were gone, and enjoy broadband Internet access for the first time in a week.
We had a great time with family this week, with lots of games (mainly Carcassone) and food. Our Christmas haul:
Ryan
Clothes
Two Dave Barry books
A Carcassone sequel
Cubs T-shirt (to replace the one lost in China)
An MST3K DVD with "Manos: The Hands of Fate" (one of the classic MST episodes) and "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" (haven't seen this one before, but it sounds great)
Best Buy gift card
Katrina
Clothes
Cranium
Perfume set
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 2 DVD set
Two Lynn Morris books
Two classical music CDs
To share
I Corinthians 13 wall hanging
Money towards a new TV to replace my 13-inch dorm-room model
Sadly, about half of the above items are in the suitcase that didn't make it to Columbus with us. United says it's on the way and will be here tomorrow, thankfully.

Hey Ryan,
I read The Innocent Man in about a day and a half. Really enjoyed the story (I wasn't that familiar with it), but like you said, it was very, very different from reading his fiction.
Definitely worth reading, though.
Now, go see We Are Marshall! (Trust me on this one)
Innocent man was a good read. I had a hard time because the main character was hard to relate to, but the storyline was very good.
You'll love Cranium if you haven't played it yet.
We had played Cranium before, but never owned a copy. Katrina loves it; that's why I got it for her. Now we just have to have people over to play it with...
As for "We Are Marshall," I think I'll need to find a guy to go see it with or go alone. You couldn't pay Katrina enough to go to a football movie, no matter how emotional.
