Vacation List

Things Pukka and I dared each other to say to our pilot while leaving the plane after our landing in Detroit on Saturday:

• First day?


• Don't worry, I'm sure you did much better on the written test.


• I've been sober for three years now. Trust me, it does get better.

There were more, but neither of us can remember them now. And besides, I've got to leave for work. First day back after being gone for 12 days, and I'm pulling a 10 hour shift. I'm sure it's going to be excellent.
