Somers Point, NJ (USA)

[started the day around 0600 - took care of work emails and some responsibilties I needed to finish before noon - had breakfast and then departed for home - stopped for gas (off US-40 in New Jersey and only paid $3.49 (as opposed to the nearly $4.00 I saw in Virginia early in the week) - I don't understand the wild swings... - made it across the Delaware Memorial Bridge by 1000 and then used DE-1, US-40 and US-301/US-50 to get back to the Beltway - arrived (with some flurries and cold drizzle) home around noon - spent several few hours taking care of company and program work before catching a few hours of sleep (1730) - I got invited to attend a milestone at the nearby ARTCC) - woke up around 2100 and drove up to Leesburg - this was my second visit to the facility (see MAR 2012) - Bev met me and took me to the pre-brief, where I saw Brian, Rod, Jim and Arun - spent the time between 2300 and midnight talking with people who I have only previously heard on the phone - being there for the mid-shift brought back some memories of Navy flights... - ready for the IOC!]
