United we stand

I wrote about the air borne adventures last time

And the next thing I notice when I try to open my lap top at the airport is that I have no lap top - left it on the plane.

So I rush back through security , bounce around between counters, and they go back to grab it. Had a 10 minutes scare, but it is back so I can write some more on airlines- since I am at the airport once more about to head back.

 

Somewhere in America there is a beautiful child  –  (this would be the last clue on the name of the place)

So after the hospital visit we were on, I am sitting at Bozeman’s  hotel room working on the problematic child

Normal field day - 6 am till now at 8pm and the day is just getting started - so I am working on the child and Bozeman thinks he had enough for today and start channel surfing

Till he gets lost

The problem with lost recently for me -  is that I had a problem with the ABC web site and was unable to watch the last 2 episodes, Bozeman is a lost junkie as well and can’t refrain from watching

I try to keep working on the child and not get lost- but it is difficult.

I am trying to focus on the problem and Bozeman is polite and does not tell me to get lost to my room so he can sleep- but the hints are getting more and more obvious -  though he never once said it direct.

There were a few “are you still working on that” with changing tones- which translates to  –  “stop working” , “stop working, and leave” “ stop , working and get lost” etc…

Then he moves to night clothes (luckily not like my own) and gets in to bed.

I know it sounds weird , me working on a problematic child, and Bozeman gets undressed, but it was all innocent – there was no one under 31 and 11 months … hint hint… in that room.

The yawning increases and I am translating that to “get the F out of here”.

Bozeman gets a break at the stroke of midnight , when I decide to call it quits and head to my room. Bozeman says goodnight (which means “finally, you freak- now I can get some sleep”)

I get to my room, watch TV for a couple of minutes and fall asleep.

Just for information purposes  –  it turned out the problematic child was misdiagnosed and I did not have to stay up at all……ohhhhh kids

 

So airport again. The above events took place the night before last, and last night I stayed till midnight on the sea of Jeeves. Getting up at something past 4 was difficult.

But I make it on time for check in, to discover that I was on a later flight ( you see, I am travelling today with the troll (see previous blogs for reference on location), he has the 6 am flight, and he is now airborne and I am waiting 2 hours more) .

So after checking in, I try to see if I can get on the earlier flight- but booked solid. So I am walking with troll to the gate, and see very long lines for security -  and that’s it -  no more united

I leave him standing there and sitting here in some cafĂ© (that serves hot chocolate)  –  which is the only smart thing I did this week when it comes to flying.

The lines are much shorter now since the rush minute is over…maybe I should get another dose of chocolatin

 

I just hope to remember the above code names in the future –

and can’t wait to get on the plane- (for which I have no seat assignment, so it will be a middle :L((( seat….NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) , close my eyes, relax, and enjoy the flight.

 

p.s I have no children, problematic or otherwise that I am aware of….

 

Let’s do a brief nick name recap

 

We have:

Names of places- the beautiful child (new nick), Lalaland (israel, or america pending context), lebronVille (a new never used nick name), Airport (a general name for a place where things are messed up at)

Other people – Bozeman, the troll, Frankie (a hairy LAMA sort of a person)-
