Oliver and I are sitting in the Washington Dulles airport and waiting for a late-night flight back to North Carolina. Our visit with my father and stepmom in Rhode Island was very good, and I'll have a full report with photos in tomorrow. Our flight out of Providence today included a two-hour delay on the tarmac -- and then an extra half hour on the Dulles tarmac because the thunderstorm meant we couldn't safely exit the small CR-26 jet down the steps and into terminal. No matter. We're safely inside, and sitting at the quiet gate area for next (uneventful, we hope!) flight. #
