We had the (mis)fortune of flying on this past Dec. 26th. Not only was it the day after Christmas, but it was also the day after the most recent airline scare. Before heading to the airport, Larry and I glanced at the news a few times but didn’t discuss the possible effect it might have on our flight. We were flying only to New York, barely over an hour in the air, on a 70-seat plane, so hopefully it was too small for anyone to consider stupidity, and, anyway, worrying about it for too long or out loud might encourage a dastardly fate to come round our way.

F or those of us staying in town over the holidays, there may be a point when shopping and other forms of revelry begin to pall or are just too overwhelming on the pocketbook and other appendages. And besides, I’d prefer not to lose sight of Oliver in the sea of shopping bags or Christmas ornaments that have begun to take his fancy.
