You usually get to go through the regular metal detector with Pre-check/Global Entry, don't you? I've just been breezing through, but don't often get a patdown regardless.

So I don't think I have SAD, but I'm really enjoying the sun shining right on my face right now.

I get a patdown every damn time I travel, but my petticoats are suspicious.

That sounds about right.

I may finally have to apply to avoid strange women sticking their hands in my jeans.

Yikes.

None of these expense reports make any sense. Receipts appear to be attached at random with little to no regard to whether they match any of the expenses on the report or are even in the same month. Argh.

Better than an invasive pat down, though, I suppose.

TSA precheck apparently means that they ignore the pocket knife with a 4" blade that I accidentally left in my briefcase and didn't realize until I got home from my trip, so it went through twice. Then again, I'm a middle aged which man, so I pretty much get a pass on almost anything with law enforcement right?

Jilli, I saw your style doppelganger on the Metro North platform last night! She was wearing a full-length Victorian getup in black and white stripes with lots of lace trimming on the sleeves and skirts, and a black velvet top hat. And I *swear* the shopping bag she was carrying had a stuffed bunny in it. I told her I liked her hat, and she thanked me. If it hadn't been almost midnight and raining, I would have chatted more and asked if she knew or knew of you.

Timelies all!

That's awful about your cousin's house, aurelia.

Now I'm trying to think which of my Victorian goth peeps are out there!
