Working in Detroit ... rain, rain, and more rain.

I rushed to the airport only to find out from an airline ticket representative (机场地勤人员) that my return flight was one hour late.

As I cleared security, the progress of my flight went from departing (起程) one hour late to two hours, then three hours, then four hours late. I learned about these delays from the announcements given by an annoying airline gate agent. It became clear that I was going to miss my connecting flight home.

After minute-by-minute travel rearrangements, and knowing that I had to give Web-based training (网上培训) the next morning back home, my husband Jim decided to drive to the airport, pick me up, and drive me back.

Jim and I arrived home at 4:30 am. I napped for a couple of hours, made coffee, logged on to the Internet conference site for my training, and waited and waited and waited.

It is lonely giving Web-based live meeting training when no one logs in. Do you know why they didn’t log in? Because I had actually scheduled the training for the next day, not the day that we had raced home to await.

I worried about telling Jim that he had held off sleep, driven through a huge storm and gotten through road construction to get me home 24 hours early for training. But the phone eventually rang as he called from work and it was time to own up (坦白).

What do you think he said? What would you have said?

Would you have scolded? Yelled? Teased? Would you have called all of your friends and let them know?

Well, Jim’s response to finding out that he had driven an almost 400-mile round
