As you probably know Kerry and I jet off to the USA tonight to visit Greg and Deb and other such international tourist attractions. Amy and Evan are staying with Kerry’s parents while we are away and both Kerry and I have started to get a bit tearful about leaving them. Visions of the plane crashing and our kids being orphaned have lingered in both of our minds, but we’ve tried our best to push them out.
If the worst does happen Amy and Evan have a lot of people who have promised to keep an eye on them. We’re not religious and so never had them christened, but we have asked some of our friends to act as fairy godparents and watch out for their interests if we’re gone.
One of these fairies is my friend Craig, the man posing so delightfully in the picture above. He has very kindly agreed to Blogsit this site while we are away. I have a few prewritten posts hanging around the drafts file which he will bung up every couple of days or so. They are all in the “…well I thought it was interesting” category I’m afraid, so my advice is to read them before you go to bed in order to aid sleep. If you’re lucky Craig may even write something of his own if the muse takes him.
So we’ll leave you in Craig’s barely competent hands and we’ll see you in a week when we get back.
Or at least I will be if Dan sends his instructions…
Hope you have a fabulous tear-free time and a safe journey.
Have a great trip (and a safe flight)!
I just flew for the first time in nine years, and everything was fine. Well, except for a minor glitch at airport security involving a couple of snow globes.
looking forward to meeting you both!
phil—can’t help wondering if they were in your pants…
You’re trusting your blog to a man you just publicly called “one of these fairies”?
Have a great trip.
Let me get this right?
You’re so worried that we’ll miss you’re insights / rambling that you’ve pre-written some posts for somebody else to publish for you while you’re away?
Dan, you need to get out more ; )
My public needs me!
I’m at an internet cafe, but only came because my bank card kept getting refused and I needed to know if I have any money in the account (I don’t, bugger).
Great picture!
