Treadmarks of Progress Across My Back

Shit. I know it was in the safe. I put it there myself. Safes don't just open by themselves. It obviously hasn't been broken into.
Where the fuck is it?
I know, I'll get a flashlight. Maybe it dropped behind Dad's coin collection where I can't see.
Shit. I leave in less than 24 hours. Do I have time to go to Westwood in the morning? There's no fucking way I'll get through those lines in time.
Shit.
--------------------------------------------
As some of you know, I leave for Thailand for three weeks tomorrow .
A bit earlier this morning, it occurred to me to get out my passport. Normally, my parents and I keep ours all together in a safe. I just about had a heart attack when it wasn't there.
It turns out my parents had cleverly taken it to Pennsylvania along with theirs for the summer.
It's being FedExed to me, with a guaranteed delivery time of 10:30 tomorrow. I'm supposed to be at the airport by 11:20, and LAX is 40 minutes away at least.
Keep your fingers crossed for me!

wow, that's a close call, but all good adventures are peppered with tight squeezes like that. They make for good stories later.
Have a great trip! |

Well, it is *kinda* funny. We'll know if it really is funny or not tomorrow. I hope it's funny. Funny's good. Here's to funny, and not lame.
