Heading back to Seattle - an airport photograph. I am closly related to the person in the photograph, though I'd get a smack in the eye if I mentioned who it is (the hair you know). We have two blondes and one not blonde in the family (among the ladies, that is). We were all vastly amused by an article I sent round recently that discussed some survey or other that had discovered blondes are aggressive and assertive, others are meek and compliant by comparison, "Yeah, right" I hear everyone mutter.

This is a leaving Seattle picture rather than a coming home. It's difficult to say which is harder, leaving or being left; thinking of them being in London without me, Atlanta on their own, Seattle wet and empty is just too hard. Work is such an easy escape.
