Well, Rascal is on the flight to Miami. If all goes well, he should be there by late afternoon - Miami time. He insisted on packing himself and I was horrified to see all of the things that he packed.

Swim fins - two pairs
Six bathing suits
Life vest
Terry cloth robe
Towels (Rascal, they will have towels!!)
A flask

A FLASK?? - "Rascal, what is in that flask?"

"Aw Mom, it is just a little "nip" for my buddy Fister."

"Nip? Like in CATNIP?" "Yes, Mom!"

"Rascal, go have a great time, but DO NOT forget to call me!"

"Yes, Mom"
