of my dad traveling to spain today, been over 10 years since he's gone, dropped him off at the airport this morning....he was all anxious and everything, traveling on his own (he's 75 but still has it together, but even still, is a bit nervous since usually me and my sis travel with him and our mom and take care of everything.

and i just hear about this:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/20/plane.crash.madrid/index.html

the thought of him hearing about this when he changes planes in chicago.....eek. i feel so bad for those people who died and their families :(

just had to get that all out, i know his flight will be okay, but just weird coincidence i suppose.

    thanks. yeah i'm glad he didn't know about this before he left, and hopefully he doesn't hear on the flight until he gets into chicago. we're gonna call him as soon as he lands and let him know what's up, i'd rather he hear from us than just from some tv set.

    yeah it's scary shit, i've been on spanair before, those planes are so old, my best friend and i were spooked being on them.

    yeah i saw some pics on yahoo, one had a body on side of the road :(

    my sis called iberia just to see if his flight would be delayed as a result, they said no but that all flights to NYC and DC are being held. makes me wonder if there's something else going on...scary times we live in, no doubt
