Hilary in the waves

Hilary in the waves

Today, Hilary escapes the country to teach english to the English. But don't fear, because you follow her adventures in the newest chaiton sibling blog: www.hchaiton.blogspot.com.

Hilary gets to deal with the fun that has become our new flying regulations. I think that the big change in the new regulations is that water, or nail polish, or lipstick, or what have you, is not actually dangerous. It's one thing to ban explosives or guns or other weapons, and it's quite another to start banning things that would be dangerous if and only if they were a different thing. While the ban on nail files and scissors was ridiculous, at least theoretically the scissors and such could be used as weapons. Water, not so much.

The picture of Hilary is from a couple of weekends ago when Hilary and Nathan came to Toronto to inauguarate the successful opening of the Chaiton-Murray guest bedroom, and then join us up at a cottage on Lake Huron. It was a great time, despite the competitive team spirit and associated cheerleading.
