The Perfect Storm or Rules to Traveling

School started today. Most of the students reported to class, but not all. One of mine and Kat's good friends, who I shall not name out of respect, was not here. For the sake of the story, I'll call him Blustin. Blustin broke several of the safe traveling rules on his way back from Christmas vacation. 1) He decided to fly back home the night before classes began. 2) He packed his keys in his luggage instead of his pockets or carry-on. 3) His flight didn't arrive until midnight. To make matters worse, his son, Mack (name also changed to protect the innocent) was very sick.

Unfortunately, as Kat and I have recently experienced on two occasions, luggage doesn't always make it back to Ohio with the traveler, and Blustin's bags didn't. He was locked out of his house on a very late ,cold January night with his wife and sick child. His friend, thankfully, put them up for the night (or maybe longer), but poor Blustin was up with sick little Mack until late into the morning. So, Blustin missed the first day of school. We're glad you're back with us Blustin, Tracy (also changed), and Mack. Sorry your return wasn't so great. We hope Mack gets better soon!
