So here I sit in a hotel in Jacksonville, IL completely bummed. Dan called tonight about 5:00 to tell me the kids were selected to be honorary captains for the Timberwolves game tomorrow night.
I have tried my darndest to get an earlier flight home, out of Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, St.Louis, but to avail - it is just not going to work with the schedule tomorrow.
My mom, Dan's folks and Dan will be there to document the event, so I will get to see it, but it isn't the same as being there. Dan tried to make me feel better by telling me I am there 99% of the time, so don't feel bad.
Well, I am going to let myself have a bit of a pity party, I am sure they will have a great time and be great captains, but it would be better if I was there.
BTW - I will be in South Dakota next week - Tuesday for sure. Don't know if I will be there Monday or Wednesday as well. I think the elevator is in Parker, so will be tooling around the plains talking bushels and hedging.
Does anyone have an extra bed? Not to invite myself or anything - oh wait maybe I am - had my fill of hotels for now. However, according to Yahoo there is a Super 8 in Freeman - anybody ever stay there?

you have your own bedroom and bathroom downstairs, it'll be like a slumber party.
sorry to hear about tomorrow night. you'll be there for so many other things, don't beat yourself up. guilt is no good for anybody.
We can have a slumber party with cookies - we can try out the recipe together.
I WANNA PLAY :)
And cookies?!
you drink MILK with chocolate chip cookies, care :)
I NEVER thought I'd see the day Susan would be chatting with farmers about bushels and hedging (or even know what the hell that was!!)
