The Irish Boomerang
I’ve been in Las Vegas for the last week working on a very exciting project. On Thursday morning I got ready to travel to Dublin.

The same nonchalant guy laughs but proceeded to show me where baggage collection could be found. A helpful assistant asked me “Why don’t you leave your bags with us until Monday.” I had to explain that with my diabetes, I’d be a health hazard!
