Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

HMOG, the woman in line in front of me at the hospital cafeteria today asked for SEVEN orders of bacon.

My theory is she's about to embark on a world cruise on a kosher ocean liner, and thus will be deprived of bacon for half a year....

Maybe she was getting bacon for all her friends?

Happy birthday, VW! And happy anniversary, Barb!

Well, bacon *is* goddamn delicious. Why not, if you've got a hankering?

I don't remember - have we talked about this?

“Not dead yet!”

The worst experience I ever had traveling with a child, wasn't one of my own. I not-so-affectionately call that the "Jeffrey flight" after the infamous Cosby skit.

In terms of traveling with my own kids, I've either blocked out the memories or they weren't that bad-- the sucking on something is absolutely essential. You should also check ahead of time to see if the Benadryl experiment works on your particular kids. I had a friend of mind who was flying to Japan with two kids under the age of four and her pediatrician had recommended that she give the kids Benadryl to knock them out.

Good thing she did a test run beforehand, because her kids are among the small percentage who get hyped like crack monkeys on the stuff.

My flight home yesterday from Boise to Denver was FULL of littles, under the age of 2. I think I counted at least 8 as we were boarding - two of them ended up right behind me. And I never heard a squawk out of any of them.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

People always compliment us on how well-behaved Annabel is on flights. And until I read Barb's story I didn't quite get it, because it's not like she's anything near perfect--like, there's no way she can handle a Seattle-to-Atlanta without a whining episode somewhere above the Great Plains. But we bought her her own seat from her first flight as an 8-month-old up, and we always have as many toys, books, and snacks as we can cram into a backpack to keep her from getting too bored and cranky.

Bah. I just walked into a plate glass window and bent my glasses all to hell....
