Among other things…..
Dave ’n Kris are here….well, here ’n not here perzackly since they’re rushing around doing last minute things before leaving here in the middle of the night to catch their flight that will eventually take them to Oman (pronounced O-Mon for those of you in doubt but I personally think Oh Man! with the exclamation point is prob’ly more apt given the present state of the world)….
I find that I have a tendency to become ‘snide’ lately…I apologize for my snideness, not sure where it comes from but dotage prob’ly has sum’thin’ t’do with it…that’s become my ‘go to’ excuse for durn near ever’thaing lately even tho’ I know full well that getting old ain’t a valid excuse for anything…
Well, the clan gathered to bid their farewell to Dave ’n Kris…gathered around the olde oaken table for a veritable feast of…beans ’n rice ’n tamales ’n fajitas ’n guacamole ’n other stuff, all washed down with Dos Equis ’n Tecate (they ain’t gonna get that in Oman)…
They’re planning on leaving here around 3:30 in the AM…
We got up at 3:00 in the AM to watch…well, most of you know what parents are like….they rolled out of the manse here in Olde Faire Oakes at 03:25 for the drive to SF International for their early morning flight to Dulles where they had sumthin like 45 minutes to catch their o’seas flight to…well, wherever it is that will eventually lead them to Oman….but, there is almost always the Old Murphy’s Law at work ’n the best laid plans o’ mice ’n men aft gang astray (so I’m told)….at any rate, the last word (at 9:30 or so this morn) finds them still at the aeroporto in Baghdad by the bay….
Anyhow, we wish them well on their stop ’n go journey….
