Learning to Fly
June 28th, 2006
There’s so much I want to write about, talk about and think about, like the delightful Vietnemese nail salon employee who held me down against my will today and waxed my eyebrows at no charge (“You eyebrow HORRIBLE! Need wax! Much wax! YOU LOVE IT! WAX! FREE WAX! YOU NEED! EYEBROW HORRIBLE!”). I want to respond to all of your comments and emails, and most of all, I want to read what’s happening with all of you.
Except, I can’t. I’m leaving tomorrow on another adventure, this time to sunny Syracuse to visit my family in beautiful Union Dale, Pennsylvania. I will feel right at home, as half the population of Union Dale, where my parents have a second home, lost their teeth around the turn of the last decade, and think that the Internet is something dangerous that brings nothing but evil porn and angry credit card thieves.
I’m flying again, of course, this time with a layover in La Guardia, and I’ll get in to Syracuse sometime in the wee hours of morning, Sunny trapped in her bag like an angry mule, dreaming of a nice soft piece of grass she can finally relieve herself on after snoring loud enough to rise above the hum of the engines.
No updates again until Tuesday, where I will have many stories of babies! Babies that belong to my younger sibling! YOUNGER! SIBLING! Toothless townies! People who still spend an hour each morning curling their bangs! Pegged pants! Double socks! Def Leppard!
*Tom Petty. Pink Floyd. Probably a hundred other people.
Mama, don’t make me fly again. Please. I’m so tired.

Pegged pants are coming back in style, especially the kind with zippers.
My verification word was “kig.” Some small community in the U.S. probably pronounces “keg” that way.
Have a great trip. Will you be seeing your awesome mom?

oh, wow. seriously? double socks? are they alternated so on the left leg, the blue is on bottom and pink is on top, and on the right leg, it’s opposite?
pictures required, please.

nothing like backwoods america to put everything in perspective, eh? poor sunny bun – she’s getting to see a lot of the underside of airplane seats lately. hopefully she’ll sleep all the way there.
i had a korean woman force me down to have my lip waxed. i was not amused.

Oh you poor thing. I hope the flight wasn’t too bad on the way back up. But you know, all your tales of flying these past few weeks don’t leave me all too confident for my flight to (hopefully) sunny Orlando next week. I hope Mami and Papi stay far, far away.

All I can say is, don’t mess with the Leppard. Unless you mean it in a nice way
