I'm Guest Posting Because I Can

Well honey, the plane hasn't crashed... yet. Currently I'm somewhere over Europe (If I'd paid any attention during Geography or World History or even German class I could venture a guess based on speed and other uber geek stuff but since I didn't, whatever) at 35,000 ft, going some insane speed, in the world's largest class of Airplane (I think it's called an Airbus). And who'd ah thunk it, they put the internet in this darn thing, tarnation! And it's free. You have to pay to make a phone call but you can get on the internet for free and do so much more. That's logic for ya. Leave it to the Germans to use some common sense, well kind of. They have the internet but no Jack Daniels (or any bourbon for that matter), or maybe I didn't pour on enough of the ol' Smoochy schmooze. I bet they have some Jack in business class. BASTARDS! To use the bathroom you have the choice of going downstairs or staying upstairs. FYI I guess.
Well I don't really have much to say. My seat sucks (up against a bulkhead, doesn't recline as far as the other shitty economy seats), I can't sleep on airplanes, I miss my wife bad, I miss my son worse and I'm sober. However, we're over half-way there and hey, I'm going to Germany for 2 weeks on the Companies' dime. WAIT! Maybe they have some decent Gin. A Gin and Tonic sounds about right.

Well, we still haven't crashed… yet.

I love you Smoochy, be sure and kiss that fat son of mine for me.


UPDATE: No Sapphire, no Tanqueray, only Gordon's dry. Yuck! I'm sure it'll get the job done. Still in the air.

UPDATE #2: Samsonite? Man I was way off. Passed Iceland, now over the Norwegian Sea. Gordon's sucks! Still flying, still sober.

Up against a "bulkhead" huh? Ahh, the old Navy terminology just keeps pouring out of you doesn't it Jacob? Eww. LOL. Well hope you have a good time and make it back to your wonderful family safely. Can't wait to see you at Christmas!

Love,
Amber

Finally, a semi manly post. I have it up to HERE with this left coast, wimpy cappuccino drinking, Doula training, bed wetting nonsense!!! Now we are talking about Bourbon, bulkheads and bathrooms. Throw in a couple of off color jokes, and it would seem like old times! Looking forward to meeting Normy this weekend. Should be a great time. We miss you guys so much. Have fun in Germany, and look at the bright side. At least you don’t have to go to France.

Charlie, I just sprayed my Pumpkin Spiced Latte out my nose all over the monitor! This weekend is going to be great. You're going to get too drunk and tell the same stories over and over. YES, I've heard the one where your buddies painted your finger nails when you past out on your hunting trip! Sheesh! I miss you!

Ah...my husband of 27 LONG years and his insult abilities! I did laugh though. I am jumping out of my skin waiting to see you guys - I can't wait! I'm sure you're having a great time with your Mom and Dad and I'm also sure they're loving the "grandparent" time with the baby. I wish you could pack up and move back here - we miss you. See you Saturday! Love, Sharon
