Puddling Through

I am in Rockefeller Plaza all by myself. I should’ve known better. Whereas all the other tourists are somewhere warm drinking hot toddies with their friend Jan I am sitting in my now sodden tennis shoes risking frostbite.

TSA Yay!
So, we’re about to leave LarryLand to head to North Myrtle Beach South Carolina. As always with long flights, this entails having to travel in the early morning when we have the mental acuity of a small child (in other words, my normal state). We go to the check-in kiosk, and I realized that my…
