Chapter 246

The week passed fast - before I knew it, it was Friday morning already. Jenny and I went to her doctor again and sat in the waiting room for two hours. Lisa had been dropping hints about wanting to come with her but Jenny said, "No way. I was twenty before she ever let me see the doctor alone."

There were more tests and another sonogram. Then there was the discussion about eating and exercise. Even with all her eating and carrying twins, Jenny was still doing well with her weight.

Then to our shock, Dr. Peterson asked if we had picked out baby names yet. No, we had not even thought about it; just too early to do that. Then she asked how Jenny's friends were reacting to her being pregnant. I almost choked at that moment, but I still listened very closely to Jenny's answer to that one. "Everyone was very supportive," Jenny replied.

Dr. Peterson asked if there were any questions. I didn't have the heart to say that her sexual appetites were getting out of hand. If I had a chance, I'd get Dr. Peterson a lone for a second and would ask her about this little problem we are having at night.

Before we left, for our personal survival, we made sure that we had the pictures of the sonogram to take back with us to the gym again.

We made good time driving back to the gym. It was almost time for lunch. Moments after arriving, Cindy and Mark returned from their three days adventure of doing my security audits. My plan was to send them in different directions. As a result, they had completed seven of the eight colleges. For their efforts, I was handed folders of observations, suggestions and various requests to look over.

It was so strange walking into the office. Jenny and I were the only two bosses that would be working here for several days. The rest of my mates and a dozen of the clerks were scattered all over the east coast doing the rape prevention seminars and spot inspections at MAAR sites. They were to be home Saturday evening. Ten of the eighty were in the completed file.

Monday the seven of us - Cindy, Mark, Jenny, Jason and Lorrie, Marcy and I - were going to do the eighth at Rochester. We had a 10 AM meeting with Captain Peters, the chief of police for Rochester and the Mayor from City Hall, along with the head of roads and the sanitation department.

I was determined - one way or the other - to end the complaints about the security fence separating the college from the low rent development next door. The complaints were coming from every direction; from both the city and state, even the college grounds keeping department.

Then it hit me like a bolt of lightning, after taking a closer look at the employees we hired for Rochester State College, I remembered that they were mostly made up of X- military and X- police and should have all the qualification to meet local law enforcement. With a bit of doing, I bet Jenny and her corporate lawyers could put together a packet to present at the meeting for our request to turn the Rochester Campus Security department into a Police Force instead.

I can't believe the time is flying by so fast, one more week left and September will be over. Although we had nightly updates to keep me up to speed about the airport, Jenny and I decided to go see how things were going for ourselves. It had been over a week since we were at to the construction site.

What a change I noticed as we drove up in time to see the fourth pour of the P loop going down on the NE/SW runway. Each loop took two pours, the same as the runway.

Just like the runways, they needed to be 100 feet wide, so a plane could make the turn without the main gear tracking off into the soft dirt or grass. Tony could only do one pour at a time on the end of each runway. The concrete mix needed time to set up because one end of the roadway machine was over-hung on the previous pour on something that wide.

As we stepped out of the Suburban, Tony handed Jenny and I both hard hats and safety glasses. First on the tour was to see the aftermath of the P loop pour. It was so cool, we saw what was happening to the wet concrete. There was a machine in the process of smoothing it. Tony explained the process as we watched it happen. As the machine was inching ahead it leveled the mounds of concrete that was covering rebar in front of it. That concrete was dumped there by the crane and elevator from the mix trucks.
