I’m leaving on a jet plane. I know when I’ll be back again. The cats will be relieved when San Geraldo returns. They’re not very happy around my suitcase. I spoke with The Kid Brother last night. He could barely contain his excitement. His roommate, Chris, was there and was also excited. I couldn’t get a word in edgewise and most of the time I was interrupting their combined reports of this season’s football statistics. Chris, at The Kid Brother’s request, checked the scores and standings while we spoke. I was laughing and my brain was rattling by the time we finished. I didn’t sleep much last night. Who knows? Maybe this will be the time I actually sleep on a flight.
Now I’m off like a pair of honeymoon pyjamas. I’ll write as soon as I can from New York.
Me voy en un avión a reacción. Sé cuándo volveré. Los gatos se sentirán aliviados cuando San Geraldo regrese. Anoche hablé con El Hermanito. Apenas pudo contener su emoción. Su compañero de cuarto, Chris, estaba allí y también estaba emocionado. No podía decir una palabra y la mayor parte del tiempo estaba interrumpiendo sus informes combinados de las estadísticas de fútbol de esta temporada. Chris, a petición de The Kid Brother, revisó los puntajes y las clasificaciones mientras hablábamos. Me reía y mi cerebro temblaba cuando terminamos. Anoche no dormí mucho. ¿Quién sabe? Quizás este sea el momento en que realmente duerma en un vuelo.
Ahora me voy como un pijama de luna de miel. Escribiré tan pronto como pueda desde Nueva York.

It is funny how pets quickly figure out what a suitcase is. We’re going to Disney World in May and if our elderly is still alive, he’ll at least be staying with my mother

They see us reach to the shelf with paper goods and run. Just in case it’s aluminum foil!
Have a safe journey, Mitchell. It’s great how excited your brother and his roomie are to see you — your visit is a big deal!
Debra
They were both a riot last night. We’re all very excited. About to take off for Madrid.
Enjoy the trip, see you soon, sleep well.
David
Not seriously expecting to sleep. But should be a pleasant trip. I’m in business class which really helps.
All that laughter should help with the nerves! Have a great trip!
Ron
Surprisingly calm today!
Have a great rip!
Have fun with the KB!
I imagine there are several pouty faces back home, but they’ll all get over it soon enough and then you’ll be back!
8trip!!!!
Dammit.
Bob,
Let ‘er rip!
Bob,
SG says Dudo is clearly missing me. I’m flattered. Trip went well. Had breakfast and am now waiting for KB t9 arrive for our first day together.
Ha! I’ve never heard that expression before.

Judy C,
Stick with me and learnt the language of a sophisticate!
Go well, my friend. And all and only the best wishes to all four of you for 2024.
I feared I should have set up a new file folder exclusively for D & M’s saved pics, instead of lumping them in with general ‘Blogpals’ pet pics. The present one will probably burst when I’ve loaded these new ones – new but absolutely indispensible.
Raybeard,
And I’ll be sharing some saved pics of the photogenic twosome while I’m here.
Boud here wishing you safe journey, happy landing in New York, and a good visit with your brother.
Boud,
All’s well. Waiting for The Kid Brother now.
“Off like a pair of honeymoon pajamas.”
That is so great.
Your cats’ poses remind me that every cat is a supermodel.
Travel safely, have BIG fun.

Ms. Moon ,
I had a friend in Boston in the ‘80s who was a font of colorful expressions. Travel day went fine.
Have a great trip! It must be so stressful for animals when the luggage comes out.
Steve,
Dudo gets especially stressed. I’m sure he was elated when SG returned.
Safe travels, Mitchell! I can’t wait to hear how it’s going when you get settled in New York!
Jennifer,
Thanks so much. Hope you’re doing well!
Bon Voyage, Mitch! I hope you have lots of fun in NYC…. and check your email as I sent you a meme the other day that I thought you might appreciate, LOL!
Tundra Bunny,
I don’t have an email from you. Hmmm.
Enjoy!
Jim,
Thanks. Waiting for KB and the fun to begin.
The way the “boys” ran into the room, it was as if they were planning to come with you! Have a great trip, Mitchell! Jx
PS Honeymoon Salad: “Lettuce alone..!”
Jon,
Nah, they just wanted their treats!
Bon voyage!!! Enjoy!!!
Laurent,
Trip went well. Waiting for the fun to start.
You’re a visiting celebrity. I hope you’ve arrived safely by the time I’m writing this. The poor cats look exhausted. Don’t you ever give them a chance to sleep? Those childhood memories can be ugly. I hope you can knock them out.
Love,
Janie
Janiejunebug,
Waiting for KB right now. He’s late! Looking forward to seeing him.
Bon voyage!
Kirk.
Good trip. Thanks!
Have a safe trip to NY. I am catching up on blogs today and I went back and read through your latest posts. You describing going home is exactly like I feel. A bit of trepidation because of some very unpleasant memories. But once I get there, I am good. I hope you will be too.
Mcpersonalspace54,
Doing fine. Waiting for KB and making new memories.
Glad you are doing well. Have a good visit.
I am sorry not to be able to join you in NYC.
Urspo,
You will be missed! We’ll make sure to talk about you! (And have only kind things to say.)
