Matt...

For the few of you who know my brother, you can appreciate this story. For those of you that don't, I hope that I can do this justice.

Lots and lots of flights have been getting delayed and canceled throughout the country. Matt was flying to Lincoln, NE from Chicago this morning, arriving here at 10am. We last spoke to him at 8:30 at night, where he was concerned about what electronic equipment to bring, and the affects that a Monster Energy drink would have on him. At 9:30, no word from Matt as to whether he made it to the airport, or flight status. So we checked. Canceled. No word from Matt. All day long, calls to his numerous cell phone numbers, checking in with the airline, and even trying his skype account. No luck. So now we are on to where he could be.

Some of our theories include: Paris, that's just how random he is. Another is that he is in a Uhaul singing Christmas carols ala Home Alone, and will arrive here unannounced at 1am or so. Of course we've also theorized that he might be in Kansas, by passing through the KC airport, through Denver, and leaving from Houston to arrive in Lincoln tomorrow AM. And of course, another fun theory is that he has met some one at the airport who he is now giving his business card to, and most likely scheduling a photo shoot. Or even better yet, he is doing photo shoots for all those stranded passengers. I think the last one is my favorite. Put the hat out Matt! (and you can check out his work here, I believe there is a picture of me up there.)

At any rate. One way or another, Matt will get here. It will be great to see him, and the "excitement" he brings to the Christmas season. Even if it means sacrificing a few ceiling fans, and buying some shower curtains....
