schiphol - halfway there

October 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Phil

nobody thinks your baby is cute on a transatlantic flight. even the flight attendants averted their eyes. a big change from the past couple weeks of constant cooing and questions about his age. odin killed it, though. he ate on takeoff and once in the middle, slept the rest of the way. still asleep now an hour after wheels down. once the flight was over, everyone started looking and talking. he got a first flight certificate signed by the captain and the lead flight attendant. first flight. this is to certify that odin anderson bowen did leave the surface of the earth on this day in a heavier than air machine. the above mentioned departed minneapolis, mn in a airbus a-330 on this memorable occasion.

      I was thinking of you three yesterday - wondering how it was going! Great that you found time to give us a quick update. Now, what I’m REALLY looking forward to is the story of how it feels to be HOME . . . and see the first kiddos (the cats) again and introduce them to Odin and vice versa!

      And, incidentally, I’m gonna start referring to airplanes as ‘heavier than air machines’ now! :)
