My son is en route home from Barcelona! I talked to him at 4:00 a.m. when he was stuck in Customs Control at Heathrow, and at 6:30 when he was stuck in Security at Gatwick, having actually made his shuttle trip per reservation. He called back 10 minutes later and said he had accomplished the impossible, getting from Iberia at Heathrow to Continental at Gatwick in three hours, and was the last passenger boarding his flight. On his way!
About Me
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

So, the globetrotter returns home! Will you get to spend any appreciable time with him before school starts? Lisa :-]
It's fun to see you so excited.
Hope he is home and you're enjoying his company again. Guess his 4am phone call explains why I noticed you were online at 4:30am. LOL!
