I'm probably crazy not to be thrilled to be in New York but then I really didn't get a vote, did I? Kent landed at Teeterboro so we wound up driving into the city. According to mapquest.com, the drive should take about half an hour - instead it took more like an hour and a half!!!

Imagine two cranky adults and three wound-up kids trapped in the back seat of a limo. Trust me, there's not as much space as you might think! Bet the driver was really really glad we had the window between him and us closed.

We made it to the apartment in one piece, thankfully, and ordered pizza, then watched the Opening Ceremonies for the Winter Olympics. Joe was originally supposed to be in Turin, looking after security for the US team but that assignment went to someone else once he quit the security firm to go back to the charter business. But we decided to tune in anyway and the children all seemed to enjoy all the different acts and Connor was especially thrilled when they had a Ferrari roar around doing donuts.

I think Pam may have a point - we may have a future race car driver on our hands.
