Flying

I have had my first flying experience in nearly a year. Maybe it was just luck, but it seems the check-ins, the security lines and the airports were less crowded than in the past few years.

Airlines recently scaled back the number of flights in an effort to ensure planes are as full as possible. I got to know some fellow passengers quite well, put it that way.

In place of the old-time vacation slide show, I'll be sharing a few photos and reflections soon on "what I did this summer."

*****end poll*****

Our traditional interview with Miss Delaware airs this weekend on Community Spotlight, Sat. July 24th at 6 a.m. and Sun. July 25th at 8 a.m.

As you will hear in the interview, Kayla has dealt for years with the effects of Alopecia, which caused her hair to fall out. She wears a wig, but has not been shy about removing it.

Kayla was crowned on the third night of the pageant in June in Dover:
