I missed my flight. Bound to happen. Of course, I’m blaming him. Sent him back three times; cell phone, watch, oxygen. Who forgets oxygen when traveling to Mars?
Sigh. I’ll be there soon.

This sounds like my husband who is always going back checking and re-checking everything until I block his way in the mudroom saying, “You aren’t going back in there again.” We’ve had some close calls on the way to Mars as well.

Haha Barbara. Of course you didn’t come out and say this was your husband, but we all know it was!

Bad thing to forget the oxygen, though I’d be more hyper about not having the cell phone! Nice story.

That’s the downside to buying tickets at cheaptickets.com. They never provide the oxygen.

Love the mars bit – short note to let you know why we’re running late, ‘he’ forgot to pack the oxygen… an obvious need!

Nice. I like the little twist of going to Mars. Not the impression I got when I read the first line.

That was cute.
Besides he didn’t forget the oxygen. A politician was trying to steal it for their next speach.
