I'm currently laughing as a battle winds down between Joel and Max over who gets the real bed and who takes the roll away in our hotel room at the Quality Inn in Long Beach. Our flight was about a half hour late, but we touched down at about 10:00pm. The team is excited about this first night as we prepare to sleep in until around 8am tomorrow morning after a long day of travel. After we check into the Dream Center tomorrow night our normal wake up times will be around 6:30am all through this week.
Joel has taken Max down with a "cheap shot" (according to Max--Joel claims it was self-defense). The battle continues.
The flight was good. Personally, I took some time to read. I finished Nicholas Wolterstorff's Lament for a Son (book review coming soon on my regular blog: www.spacecreated.blogspot.com). I was also able to get through another chapter of G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy. I finally started William Wilberforce's biography as well.
Whoa! Sucker punch (Max even admits it). That shot was just wrong... Joel is crippled.
A few others on the team got reading done on the flight; but most listened to Ipod's or giggled profusely (Kelsey, Kaleen, and Emily to be specific). One of our leaders, Dave Baskett, was actually flying for the first time in his life. In all it was a good trip.
The battle for the bed has been solved. Max gets the roll away. Joel didn't actually defeat him, but when they couldn't decide who rightfully gets it Joel appealed to the "I got here first" card. Truthfully he did get there first.
Justice? I don't know... That's a quandary to ponder another day.

That was one of my most proud moments on that trip. The bed was nice too.
