My sister made the local news...

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my sister got caught in the US Airways luggage chaos this past weekend, and wound up quoted in the local paper. My dad is quoted as calling it a 'horror' which is, compared to what happened in Asia, a bit of an overstatment at the very least.

Doesn't make it any less aggravating, though. Especially since her recently found luggage got lost again on her way home.

Charlie is none the worse for his little meltdown yesterday. I wish I knew what happened. Well, I know what happened, but it was one of those things that I feel if I could have just pin-pointed where I went wrong, I'd have a clue for next time. Maybe I should have let him dress up for a few minutes, but then I think, if I give in now, then I'm being too permissive, and he needs to learn to follow the rules. I dunno.

Oh - Charlie's neuro-psychologist is hosting some graduate student from Cambridge and he (the student) wants to interview Charlie and me. Interesting, yes?

For the record, Finding Nemo on Ice wasn't some twisted Disney murder mystery. (hee) It was lovely ice-dancing done by people dressed up like fish. The jelly fish scene was quite lovely.

I had more profound things to say, I think, but I have a cold, and my head aches and my thoughts are just not processing properly. So, rain-check on the profound thoughts, kay?

Wow, your poor sister! I hope she finds her luggage again. Man. Lightening really can strike twice, huh?

Oh-and hugs for the cold. Don't worry about profound thoughts. We know you're smart.

Glad to hear your Charlie is doing okay. It doesn't sound to me as though you "went wrong" anywhere--sometimes there just isn't a perfect decision you can make. Especially with kids.

Awww.

Did you have to reserve your tickets by jellyphone?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Holy Crap!

You would think they would now better by know, I mean how fucking long have they been in bussiness anyway! Dumb airport! What a crock of shit. I hope she got her stuff back. Man nobody will travel the airways again at that rate.

Did they at least take Nemo's kidneys?

I've been told that sometimes you just have to let kids throw fits. I doubt that it was anything that you yourself had done. :)

And have a happy new year!
