So we’re home. The flights were good. At one point I was pushing Vernon one-handed who had his backpack full of books in his wheelchair while I precariously balanced his walker on one side of it, pulling with my other hand the loaded-with-documents-wheeling suitcase which had two duffel bags on top, and a diaper bag…
