Welcome Home

Today we flew home from Texas. We flew back to this place where the sky is always grey and salt eats away at your car and you have to wear a down jacket, sweater, hat, gloves and scarf simply to jump into your pre heated car.

We left Texas with a few things. Big things, like a reconnected sense of extended family. Little things like fond memories of tamales and margaritas.

We also left with a very strong desire for more than 100 days of sunshine in an entire year.

Usually, I think cats and dogs are somewhat easier than children. They don't talk at least. However, today that changed after a 3 hour flight with a very loud, very unhappy cat who meowed continuously for the entire fucking flight.

Sure, my kids can whine but I've yet to see them do it for 3 hours straight. And yes, my son's diaper filled so full it leaked....everywhere....but at least he didn't scream 'Meow' for 3 hours without stopping.

If you're booking a Northwest Airlines flight anytime soon, I would highly recommend you avoid seat 15-C. I realize my son's diaper didn't leak on every plane in the entire Northwest fleet, but since I have no idea which plane it was, I'd try to avoid all seats marked 15-C just to be safe.

I'm just saying.

yes. cats don't like air travel. One good thing...it's not your cat. As for 15C, I'll for one never sit on that seat again...no matter what airline....
