Just practicing...

Greetings from Logan Airport. Off the bus, through security - "Is this your knapsac, sir?" "Yes. Is there..." "You can't take this water through." "No! I meant to finish it." "I'll just scan it." She does, then tosses it. I also had to toss my moisturiser...or is it "moisturizer"? Either way, it was too many ounces, so I may return in two weeks with dry skin! Oh, dear... To Kennedy in an hour and a half, then just before midnight, onto a non-stop flight to Tel Aviv, the sun rising soon after we take off...which means I'll be aging more rapidly than normal: that and dry skin may have drastically affected my appearance when next you see me. Instead of, "Al, you look the same," it'll be, "Al! What happened?!" As I said, "just practicing."
