I mentioned in a blog Monday that I first had good thoughts upon learning my flight out of Louisville was leaving from Gate B17. That’s because it reminded of Pop since he was a ball-turret gunner in Flying Fortresses during World War II.

That was tempered when I learned I’d be flying into St. Louis for a brief layover.

When traveling to Chicago tonight en route to Louisville, I saw that my plane from Midway to Kentucky would be leaving from, you guessed it, Gate B17.

Upon landing and rushing to my gate, I learned that the flight would be about 40 minutes late, now scheduled to leave at 10:15 p.m.

Hope we don’t leave any later. It’s already been a long day, and I miss Karen and the girls.

Thanks for reading my blog, and thanks for logging on to TribTown.com.
