We really shouldn't be allowed to fly.  Over the last couple of years we've been waylaid by storms of every stripe, forced to spend 24-hours in Salt Lake City, and required to take routes from one end of the country to another that could never make sense.  So it comes as no real surprise to us today to find our family stuck in Huston for the next 12 + hours on an rather extended layover.  You could blame today on Continental Airlines but I'm a little suspicious that our problems started as soon as we landed at George H.W. Bush Intercontinental Airport.
