I am home, and checking in. The kids were great while I was gone. My experience flying (who needs Disneyland), and me telling Katie there's nothing to be scared about just made her want to get up and go. Apparently she listens to her mom. :)

Arthur does not appear to be in distress when I'm not here, at all. He does not scream, twist her fingers, or any of that which appears when I am here. I find that EXTREMELY interesting, don't you? He started right up with me, and I am pointing it out to him that he doesn't do that when I am not here. Perhaps it is something like I'm who he trusts, but I don't think so. Any thoughts?

I love all of you All. Check in too, okay?

Anyone not there this time, if/when it happens again it is worth the effort.
Love
Bette

Hi Bette. It's nice to see that things don't fall apart while you're gone. It must be a relief yes?

Well, sure. I did feel slightly not needed for a millisecond. I think it was an important event for all of us. :)
Love
Bette

Hello Bette and all. Just got in. I actually managed to sleep on the train this time.

Ted

Hi Ted, that's good you slept. I was thinking warm thoughts for you, and hoping you would be warmer on the return trip. Thank you for checking in.
Love
Bette

Bette -

Might an analysis using an 'addiction filter' be useful regarding Arthur ?

I made it home at 9PM EST - it was a fun drive.

Glad everyone made it home safe and sound from the reports so far.

Moji,

With the weather being what it was, and the distance to cover, I believe I am detecting just a smidgeon of sarcasm. Glad you made it.

Ramon

Believe it or not, I really enjoy driving. I like to see what's out there in the world and just be some place I've never been before. Though I only hit heavy fog, I actually enjoy the adversity of weather, most of the time. There's a we're-all-in-this-together feeling that I enjoy having when something out of the ordinary occurs. However, there was some heaviness in parts of West Virginia that I didn't enjoy very much, but the scenery was incredible.

Glad to hear from so many of you that you got home safely. Especially glad to know that Ted's return trip wasn't as bad as the trip there.

I feel so much closer to my MBT family.

Linda, you said it so right.
That's my feeling too, my family.

Oh, it is so nice to hear from you after what I am sure was a most incredible weekend. I wanted so badly to join you, but unfortunately, living on the west coast and working simply made this weekend not an option....but I have asked to be invited next time (...and let me add...I felt very honored to be invited!) I am keeping my fingers crossed your time together was taped, and we thus we can share somewhat virtually (no pun intended) in this incredible event!....Taped? Yes? and if so, posted soon....I am hoping?

Glad everyone is having safe trips home. I had a good trip home and got back to Indiana about 3 central yesterday. Wife, dog, and cat were all happy I was home again. It was really great meeting you all and being able to participate. I am honored to be considered part of such a low entropy bunch. As soon as I catch up a bit I will start being active on the forum again :)

Can't wait to watch it.
