Mary says it was her best Mother's Day ever! Anyone else go flying for
Mother's Day?

Planned on it, but the best plans do not always work out. The previous
year I flew my wife and two boys to a Mother's Day breakfast at a nearby
greasy spoon and I wanted to reinforce this new annual tradition by
going somewhere this year.

Last year we couldn't go to our number one choice, the Ithaca Airport
(KITH, located in central NY) Mother's Day pancake breakfast, due to
thunderstorms, so this year I opted to fly there for breakfast. I woke
up early and, during flight planning, learned there were scattered t-
storms around the area. Strike one.

I then realized that I never actually read an announcement about the
pancake breakfast at the airport this year, so I called. Nope, this
year the flying club at Ithaca decided to host a Father's day breakfast
instead (in June). Strike 2.

The final whiff happened when I realized that my wife was still asleep.
Since she normally does not have this luxury, I concluded she would
enjoy her day by sleeping in. So, my boys and I made pancakes at home
while the line of storms moved out of our area.
