Last night we met Richard at Port Columbus as he came home for Thanksgiving. This morning we’ll meet Russell there, too. Normally airports are not happy places. People are tired and frustrated.

As we have done several times before, the Webners have hit the road for the holidays. We head for warm weather, beaches, and cold beer with strange, exotic names.
