11 thru 20 and a Little Rant

Continued from yesterday - obscure titles for well-known Christmas carols:

11. Assemble Every Adherent.
12. Hail the Hallowed Pre Dawn.
13. Alabaster Noel Fantasia.
14. Clink Tintinnabulation.
15. One Dozen Twenty-four Hour Yule Periods.
16. Befell During the Transparent Bewitching Hour.
17. Homo Sapiens of Crystallized Vapor.
18. Desiring Dual Yuletide Incisors.
19. I Spied Maternal Progenitor Osculating Beneficent Trespasser.
20. Perambulating Through A December Solstice Fantasy.

and a bonus 21 I just now thought of - Puerile Percussionist.

Now the rant. I hate the Homeland Security airport rigamarole! Yesterday my oldest daughter and her family were flying from NY to Hawaii and they were in MSP (the Minneapolis MN airport) for a 2-hour layover. We discussed it, and it was just impossible for me to go and have a nice hour-long or so visit.

Security will not let me much past the front door. DD's family would have to exit the secure area to meet me - which means they would have to go through security again to make their connection. Always a risk. DD is ethnically ambiguous-looking since her dad was from India. Her husband is an ethnic Inca from Equador and also has a "look" that is not common. One or the other of them is always singled out for special handling by Security. So they have to allow extra time to go through the security gates. Two hours is nothing.

Bummer. I miss the Good Old Days when you could just go meet people at their gate. Stoopid security.

Sorry to hear about DD and family's airport run thru town...that does suck that you can't go visit for a bit.

The whole security thing seems to be a double edged sword. I too miss the days where people could be greeted at the gate.

I actually thought about coming back and deleting my post yesterday so as not to be a post pooper.

But then I decided to let my awesomeness stand for all to see.

Which is good, because today's have me squinting and cursing.
