I am typing this from the "premium"lounge in the international terminal. It sounds better than it is, but hey, at least they have free wine. It's the first benefit I have received from paying $270 for the membership. More on that in a future post.

The week Mom died I couldn't bring myself to listen to my voicemail. I thought,"'I'll save it for the airport on my way out...'" Don't ask me why that sounded like a good idea in the first place...
I just listened to them and it has, umm, reduced me to a bucket of tears. Enough so that it's made everyone else in the lounge look at me. In particular was a call from my HS friend Martha who got the news two weeks ago just before she was to board plane back home. Her heartfelt/tearful memory of Mom is a voicemail I wish I could keep.
Anyhow, I have to go... Seeing how I am now I can't fathom how I would have made the trip home had Mom died while I was in the Emirates. My plane for Abu Dhabi boards soon. - Steve
Safe travels my dear friend. - Cristy
