Shmalifornia

Back in Shmalifornia, the Greats Plotnik and Ducknik are in Stiletto City visiting Mummy P. It was a very long day yesterday, starting with an hour-long bus ride from Providence to Boston's Logan Airport.  Then after a fairly long layover they got on a Southwest plane from Boston to Chicago, laid over a few more hours and took another plane from Chicago to LAX.  They got in at midnight and then found a taxi to take them up to Mummy P.'s house.

The problem was that they had made the mistake of telling Mummy P. in advance that they were coming in late. This meant she was full of anxiety -- apparently she stayed outside on the front lawn for several hours, afraid she would miss them. When they walked in the house at 1am Mummy P. was still up, wondering why it had taken them so long to get there.

But these are small problems. The larger problems -- life and death issues -- are a lot harder to deal with. Plot sends his love out to -- well, they all know who they are.
