michael is now home safe with arwen, as is his flying mate, kerry (no thanks to the two! exits i missed coming home. and i didn't even sleep in an airport!). he was fortunate to catch a flight as united apparently said no standby passengers would be allowed on today's planes (grr! what were they supposed to do, then?). i bought him a chocolate shake at burgerville and brought him home to his newly cleaned apartment, a birthday gift from sven & me. unfortunately, his father won't be visiting since it sounded like it was possible michael wasn't going to make it at all today and he was on his way to san francisco, then scottsdale.
still, i'm glad he & arwen are reunited, especially as she literally disappeared when sven & i were cleaning. i thought i had lost her until sven found her hiding in the plantbox on the patio:
