I just brushed him off. He wouldn't know genius if it bit him in the bum.<br />I'm still wiping the tears from your description of the flight, next to the "gunner" and your insight into Miguel and Maria's thoughts. Glad you had such a wicked trip!<br /><br />Luv,<br /><br />Kat (who is just shy of 50 today)Kat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882574271400724009.post-79206676978582505132009-06-25T00:13:05.056+01:002009-06-25T00:13:05.056+01:00Am I bovvered though?
