I Must Be Insane

This week I bought Jetblue All You Can Jet passes for myself, my eight year old son Ian and his father Pete. With these passes we can fly anywhere on Jetblue's route an unlimited number of times between September 7th and October 6th, with only a three day advanced booking! How freaking cool is that? I have always wanted to travel and have rarely had the means. This time, means and opportunity converged and I jumped on the shit with absolutely no clue how I am going to actually accomplish this. Whatever, I'll figure it out as I go along.


Ian will most definitely make it interesting. I'm cringing as I consider the possible things this child could say and do in a month of heavy travel. Oh God, I hadn't even considered the bathroom aspect until this very second. Ian is a very, uh, vocal child. Not necessarily loud vocal, maybe loquacious is a better word. I have been described as a person who will "tell you where a bear shit in the woods". Ian will tell you not only where the bear shit,but how it looked while doing so, the color, texture and smell of the product left behind, what the bear did after taking a shit, and how the bear's shit differs from his own. Good Lord, it should be an interesting month.
