We Made It!
Read my eyes Jeff––Saturday
In
the thirteen years I’ve contributed to Murder is Everywhere, I never missed my Saturday
slot. I owe that to abject fear that I’ll somehow be turned into a pumpkin should
my post not appear at the stroke of midnight each Friday. This week tested me to my core…or should I say
stem.
After
a fantastic Bouchercon week spent in San Diego (documented by many of my mates in
their posts), I returned to NYC for my nephew’s wedding (congrats again to Danny
and Malina) and a couple of days spent with my son visiting from Houston. On
his departure, Barbara and I commenced a rush of appointments in advance of our
returning on Thursday to Greece. The fact our flights to Athens were cancelled by
the carrier late Wednesday night only added to the sturm und drang surrounding
our trip and the odds against my making a timely Saturday post.
Yet,
with a bit of grand luck on finding new (and better) flight connections, and
the aid of my bride and her camera, I was able to patch together a post with
photos to subtly document the stress of the occasion via its effect on the participants.
Will the bus make it to Mykonos before we do? Passing time with dueling selfies Photobomber wins, as usual We made it to Athens! Now on to Mykonos Where is everyone at the airport? I mean, WHERE IS EVERYONE? I get it, they're all in synagogue praying to welcome the Jewish New Year 5784. L'Shana Tovah y'all on this first full day of Rosh Hashanah.
