When Thoughts Occur

It's early; light enough that I can see the ridgeline on the opposite side of the lake but only barely. I've been getting up before the alarm goes off, probably a sign that I'm not totally on Pacific time. No worries. So I'm reading the courtesy newspaper (yesterday's) while sitting on the Throne, and the thought perculates through...

There's these two bottles of wine, courtesy of Air Alaska Flight 9 Flight Crew; one of them I'll give away as a present, but one I want to take home for Herself. And, wine being a fluid, isn't on the current carry-on list.

That's right. Forget the three ounce ruling (which these bottles exceed anyway). Forget the cork and the foil sealer. Not on the list.

Futz. Well, guess I stop at the desk and ask about shipping...

Well, closer than normal. I'm on the Other Side at a Nursing conference in Chelan. Conference finishes on Sunday, and I leave on Monday.

My idea would be to consume both bottles prior to boarding but I guess that
goes to show why I finally surrendered it 4+ yrs ago, huh? That thinking never worked for me (and OH how I tried! lol)

Shipping is a very good thought.

How is the nursing conference?

It's a good conference. The Washington State Council always puts on a good meet. Some excellent speakers, and exposure to some things which we aren't doing back home (relatively new).

I don't have the same situation you do, and also I really want to get this particular wine back to Herself. On the other hand, you've done some growing.

Yep--it's been a long & often crazy road! But hey, life is nothing if not a Funky Adventure! ; ^ )

Safe travels.

Wrap bottles in dirty laundry - shove Phred on top....check.
