A Stimulus Package and More Mangos
So we're packed. One suitcase, with a red ribbon, that fits in the overhead rack, and one carry-on, with a green tag, which weighs more than the suitcase. The carry-on will get jammed under the seatback which will mean there will be no room for Plottie's feet for the two five hour flights. Those feet will be happier, though, due to the addition at the last moment of an extra pair of old shoes, which he will wear on the plane, remembering how important it is to not get sore, blistered feet while on vacation.
So Plottie's feet will feel fine but his legs will be on fire from having nowhere to live on the airplane, except out in the aisle, which the bad-tempered stewardess will either dodge and grumble at him, or trip over them first and then grumble at him.
Travel broadens the mind.
The newspaper has been disconnected, John the King will move the car and keep his eye on the house, and the cats died five years ago, God rest their peaceful souls.
And five hour flights don't register until the third hour, so you only get one internal reminder that you're wearing a seatbelt while trapped in a flying cage like a flock of chickens and you're on Delta and Captain Sully flies for US Air. Anyone can take one reminder.
Travel expands your horizons.
Seashells. Sunsets. Moon rises. Green water. Mangos.
Does anyone but Plotnik think Stimulus Package would be a great name for a Porno?
In fact, now that he thinks of it, perhaps a Flip Cam video of The Great Plotnik, religious leader of a Select Few, wearing his speedos, could be titled 'Stimulus Package.' Did that make you feel queasy? You need a vacation.
(Don't worry. Plotnik does not own speedos.)
Reggae. Calypso. Volcanoes. Bright red fish. More mangos.

You don't fly first class? As the leader of a religion, small or not, I would think flying in first would be required to keep up your image.
So how many pair of shoes in Duck bringing? Unless I've lost count you are up to three.
When is it you leave?
Flying Delta? I would say that you should mention my daughter's name (she works for Delta) but I doubt the snarky stewardesses are acquainted with her. She only knows the "nice" ones. I hope you and the Duck and all your shoes and electronic gear have a fine time.
Alas, no coffee date before your departure. My phlegm continued to distract and obfuscate. But I bid you two a fond farewell and ask you to take good care of yourselves, have a wonderful time, and return safely.
Hectic day yesterday, I meant to write you both and wish you a happy vaca, but how could it be anything but? Check in ASAP and I mean it!
That's all the luggage you're taking? For two of you? In three locations? You should have seen the car this weekend for 3 people, 3 days in Vermont (which was fab--felt just like Colorado high country only at an altitude where you can breathe).
