Today was apparently our day at the TSA check point at SEA. We both were directed to the X-Ray scanners rather than the magnetometer. We of course opted out. Why? We have our reasons.
Brian did ask an employee where his dosimeter was, and replied that he wished he was allowed to have one. Crazy!
The TSA employees at SEA tend to be very nice and we each chatted with our friendly federal fondlers as they went about their jobs. Kathy tends to discuss the dangers of X-Rays while Brian goes for the cheap jokes. It's probably just a coincidence that Brian was flattered with attention by an observer as well as the actual screener, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Still, it was over almost before we knew it and we're relaxing in the Red Carpet Club before boarding our flight to SFO.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
