It was standard protocol with the renowned Vince Lombardi, former coach of the Green Bay Packers. Whatever your appointment, for whatever purpose, regardless of the scheduled time… be there 15 minutes early. Period ! Always be there 15 minutes early.

In our household, we don’t subscribe to this nonsense. We have our own protocol. It’s called Judy Tucker Time. Be there 1 & 1/2 hours early… always. Regardless.

We’re on our way this morning back to Naples, Florida. We awoke at 0 – dark thirty to get to Trenton/Mercer Airport. Mind you. This is not Newark or JFK or La Guardia.

Do note: They did have an airplane. Yes. Singular.

But, I could wipe the sweat off my brow. Painted on the side of the plane: FRONTIER

Hallelujah! Ours was a Frontier flight, as if by miracle. We made it !

All we’d have to do now is hurry up and wait. You know, we are on Judy Tucker Time !
