Running Late for Tennis Lessons? Take A Plane!

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Apparently some parents will do literally anything to ensure their child arrives on-time to
a tennis lesson. Even of it means flying them in a small plane, landing it in the snow of a nearby golf course!

Just can’t make this stuff up…

What makes this story even more wild for me is I work just around the corner from that golf course. In fact, I drive past the fairway every weekday!

Living in Chicagoland, I can’t count the times I wished I had a helicopter or plane to get me across the area.  Not that it would be feasible, but its fun to dream of escaping the gridlock that can occur here on a daily basis. Crazy as it was, this guy actually did it!

I meant to blog this earlier this week since it occured this past Saturday, but alas, it slipped my mind.
