We are off for a month (a month!) in the UK! Most of you know this Koog needs heavy sedation to fly. For some reason, I'm calm about this flight. The calmness is creating anxiety because I am not used to being this zen when facing an airport. Anyway, I've held off "Benzo-loading" and I'm stone cold sober as we wait for our ride to the airport. Now, Mrs. Koog has gently and not so gently reminded me to pack light as we have laundry facilities in each house we are renting. She even went so far as to find Rick Steves packing shows on YouTube. Rick and I have very different points of view about many things like fashion, hair cuts and of course, packing. He believes packing the absolute minimum (and the ugliest possible) clothes and shoes. This is not the mindset of Koog. My default is prepare and pack for every contingency and every contingency of those contingencies. Alas, the airlines dictate one can only be prepared 2 checked bags worth of contingency supplies!
This blog began when I was 33, now I’m in my early 50’s. My immaturity and good looks game remain strong. I live with my wife, twin boys and a 130lb Great Dane mix in the DC area. This blog is dedicated to them, each one a muse (or foil) depending on the day; reminding me the abundance of love and blessings I am fortunate enough to have, observe and document. The views published here are my own and all content (written or photos) are mine! Someday, I will grow up, just not today.
