The parents have arrived safely. They had a 3+ hour delay getting out of Columbus but arrived tired, but okay. I called the airline to see what they'd done with them, they weren't going to give out the information (aka the 411) but I did this whole spiel about how they're 70 years old (not quite but hey) and don't travel much, if they were lost, or worse, in Detroit and they hooked me up. We had a quick dinner, then whisked them off to my big holiday concert. They hadn't seen me play since high school and it was a huge thrill to have them there. Later, Mom said she was proud of me. Awww, shucks.
