  2. Oh yes he will. This is from Neil Gaiman's blog:

    "The plane was late taking off due to the new pat-down and bag-examine rules. I was patted down (the pat-down wouldn’t have found any explosives I’d hidden in my inner thigh, where the idiot on the Amsterdam-Detroit flight hid his, because the man was too polite to check there) and my backpack was opened and looked into (it has many compartments that weren’t opened or checked, and the man would have missed a syringe if I had had one, like the aforementioned idiot had). I wondered for whose benefit the pat-down and baggage rummage was, and decided it was to make everyone feel safer without actually being inconvenienced in the way you’d have to be if you wanted to make sure no-one actually brought something dangerous onto the plane."

    So, only if he try to carry a jar of gourmet peanut butter he will be in trouble. Don't you feel so much safer now? Sorry. But I am still in awe at the whole thing.

  5. One thing I particularly admire about you as a parent, Elizabeth, is how you seem to gracefully normalize your family's circumstances for your boys. As a sibling who grew up with handicapped (as we called it then)siblings myself, I know how hard it can be for parents to balance the energy and attention between various kinds of needs and wants. Hard enough in a family with no great differences in need. You are a great example of balance.

  6. Happy new year, Elizabeth. Maybe we cry- (thinking of your "wings" post, and yeah, one of the few movies I own) - because being human means living with heartbreaking beauty, absurdity, joy and sorrow. All in the same day!

    Hee hee- now that is a boy who knows how to celebrate!

  11. I can't decide if he'd be allowed or not. One part says he's just crazy enough that they wouldn't give him an second thought. However, part of me thinks that because he's having too much fun, he'll be stopped and harassed.
