And here I get panicky if I leave my book in the terminal when I board the plane.

- I write thrillers. Both my Jo Beckett and Evan Delaney series take place in California, where I’ve spent most of my life. Now I live near London, England, and earn my living inventing stories about the place I came from. Read here about the writing life and the lies that pay my bills.

Oh dear. That said, we left my infant godson in his carseat on the porch one day. After marshalling all of the gear for a trip to the beach, wrangling the 7-8 year old boys and two dogs, the three adults collapsed in their seats, heaved a collective sigh, and the van headed off down the street. We’d only gotten a block when we realized that we were missing someone. Oops. Said someone slept through the whole thing.

I can entirely see how that happened. When I recently transferred at Vancouver Airport between Auckland and Toronto, we had 2 hours to make the transfer, and between immigration and inefficient queues and having to claim and recheck our baggage and deciphering poorly signed directions and walking/running about 2 km, we made it to the departure lounge just in time to hear “…the remaining passengers may now board…”
Fortunately, no little children were travelling with us.

Well, not by the time you got to your connecting flight, they weren’t.
Patti, have you seen “Raising Arizona”?

No, but I’m not sure why not. With Holly Hunter, the Coen brothers, and a crazed plot (repeat: Coen brothers), it has to be a case of rental inertia. Re: my comment above, it was a total of two boys, aged 7 and 8 at the time (not 8 year old septuplets).

“Air Canada took good care of him,”
What is the world coming to when Airlines look after our children better than we do ourselves?
