Tell you all my secrets

1. What are you up to this weekend?

 

2. Do you own a bulletin board?

 

3.   Bacon?

Flying home from Tacoma, a good samaritan popped open the overhead compartment to help a shorter lady get her bags down.  When he moved things, he just started to grin and hollered "Who has the light saber?!?" I immediately put my hand up. "Me!  That's my nerd badge," and there was much hilarity.

 

This reminded me of a story my mom still tells:

 

When I was very small we were flying to or from visiting my family in Iowa.  A woman boarded the plane carrying a standard-size kitchen broom.  The whole plane watched her tuck it up in the overhead compartment and no one said a word.

 

At the end of the flight, she takes the broom down and is standing there with it, waiting to deplane.  I cannot take it a moment longer.  I blurt out "Mommy, why is that lady flying with a broom???"

 

Everyone on the plane burst out laughing, she stormed out without a word.  A guy behind us patted my shoulder and said, "Oh, Honey, we've all been wanting to ask that!"

 

I like to think the woman would get a good laugh at my expense now.

1. What did you do yesterday?

 

2. Red or  white?

 

3. How many oceans have you seen?

Last year, at the stroke of Midnight, I dipped a piece of Chinese Bbq in hot mustard and rolled it in bacon bits to welcome the new year.

 

This year, we had to pause rehearsal of Syringa Tree at 8 to go outside to watch the fireworks  being fired off a block away in Town Square.

 

And I still made it home in time for bbq pork and champagne.  We launched off paper lanterns with wishes and set off a trunk load of fireworks Panty Rob bought.

 

Happy New Year!
