I am watching CNN because my grandpa Robert "Bob" Milliken is going to be on! He is a WW2 Flying Ace!

Alee, that is so cool! How exciting for you and your family. I hope we can see it on line as I don't have tv reception here.

I'm not familiar with CNN. If they carry the story, do you think we will we be able to watch it through a link on their website?

That is so great Alee...I don't have cable but I'm proud of him and of you!

Well so far it hasn't been on. I am recording a day's worth of CNN so I am going to fast forward through all the repeat stuff and see if he was actually on there today, but I think the Ice Storm story might have bumped their slot.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, cookies in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming. "WOOHOO, What a Ride!"

That is so cool Alee! I bet you are proud of your grandfather. I'll look for a link too so I can watch it.

Neat! I wish I could watch. My husband is also big into that stuff. He got to ride in a B-17 once, and it was one of the highlights of his life (although he was scared out of his wits most of the time it was actually happening).

My grandpa was a radio operator in B-24s stationed in Iceland during WWII.

That's great, Alee--I will pick up the link to the story so that my dh can watch it. You know he's fascinated by WWII and flight!
