The Best Dad in the World!

Disaster averted! While sitting at the Princeton Junction train station discussing my packing experience with a friend, I realized I left my extra camera battery, and more importantly, the battery charger plugged into the wall in my bedroom. I didn't have time to get home and taking the next train would have put me at risk for missing my flight. Dad to the rescue...

After frantically discussing a half a dozen options, he offered to meet me at JFK to hand deliver the battery and charger.

Despite being exposed to norovirus earlier in the week, he ran to my house with gloves and disinfectant, got the battery, put it in a sterile plastic bag and started driving. In the meantime, I called Olivia and Ed to see if they had the same charger so that I could potentially use theirs, but alas not. Olivia even went so far as to contact several of her friends and local stores but no one carried it. So, two hours later (a nj transit, LIRR train and Airtrain later for me and a lot of highway miles for my dad), I am now sitting at the gate with battery charger, extra battery and much needed beer in hand!

Best dad ever! Now I just need to make it worth his while and get a photo for him at 19,341 ft! Thank you dad! I love you!
