Monday, September 15, 2003 Travel Fun

I’m heading to NY in the morning for a software conference. Yay! I get to sleep alone! And eat whatever I want! And not have to share! My good friend Bitty is coming too, to see the sights while I’m at the conference. (And sleep alone, and eat whatever she wants, and not share.)

This is the first time I’ve ever been away from Daphne, and months since I’ve been away from the boys. Logan is already rehearsing melodramatic goodbyes and telling me how much he’ll miss me, then covering me with prolonged hugs and many kisses, ending by turning away sadly, eyes on the ground: “I’ll miss you too, too much.”

Dylan just responds by saying, “Can you get on the plane now?”

“Not yet, hon. In three days.”

“Can you get on the plane now?”

“No. On Tuesday.”

“"NOW?"

“Let’s go play Leggos.”

“OK.”
