Issue #272, December 21st, 2024. Boulder to Frankfurt, Germany

Denver International Airport

This is a special Family Epic Winter solstice trip to France to see Orion, who is ending his first semester abroad in Antibes. Paige, Phoenix and I are now at Denver International Airport, waiting to board the airplane.

After two minutes -
Turning around to unplug
heater in his room.

The birds, unaware
we are leaving for two weeks:
content in their cage

Orion, in Nice
waiting at a youth hostel -
family on the way

From Terminal A
light hits the control tower:
I do a painting

We all got a little exercise this morning: I went for an abbreviated run; Phoenix went to the gym, and Paige walked down the road to the creek. We were definitely in countdown mode, with preparations made for the birds’ continued existence (though we have arranged for our friend Heather to check in on them). We left new toys, fresh paper and notes for Heather; washed the dishes, put out the last fire, and headed for the airport.
