was (am) a little bit zonked from the day of air travel.
I will write a full rant about this soon. And there
was the time change. I lost three hours. But I was wired
and tired.

called Mom. When we arrived at the airport a fellow
pulled up beside us and told her she should check one
of her tires. This started a bit of a row. Ken kept saying that
if the tire blew out the car could roll. Mom didn't want to stop
in a gas station and put in air because she'd never done it before.
As I said goodbye I had visions of them with a flat tire in the
middle of no where. I mean, it's crazy, because they have an emergency
cell phone and some kind of AAA thing. So they would have been OK.
But, shit. They drove back to Brevard and she took the car
to some tire place and they found a roofing tack. All is well.</span></font></p>

the airport my Mom stood at the glass security wall and watched
while they waved the metal detector over me and looked at my laptop
case. I kept waving to her. My throat tight with tears. </span></font></p>

thing is Mom is in pretty good shape. Relatively speaking. She could
be around for years. Ken is better. But, at 79, I think he's only
ever going to get so much better. And I feel the need to be closer.

It's close to M & K. I'm going to graduate in six months. And
then I'm going to need a job. And I am thinking about where I want
to position myself for that future. </span></font></p>
