Bad Omen or Just Bad Luck

Day 1: Well the Graber European Vacation got started off with a bang...well at least that is what the TSA Inspectors thought might happen when I set off the explosive material on the shoes thingy at the airport! Yes, I panicked momentarily thinking quickly to myself...did I buy these shoes at the thrift store...did they belong to an Al Quaida operative.....then I realized that they were second hand but they had belonged to my nephew Jason. Again my mind raced....Jason...what did I really know about Jason...if that is your real name......but not to worry, after a brusque pat down by a manly looking female TSA officer and a quick peek at my carry-on luggage we were on our way.
