Nicely done, Gary!

The only comment I'd make is regarding your way of handling the security
check.
It's fine, no criticism.
But I can't walk a straight line to save my life, even if I go through the
metal detector without Carter I set it off because I veer and bump the
side--smile.
So, I explain in advance or ask to be wanded, if that's the word.

I have found that, since 9/11, security has gotten much better about how to
deal with those of us who have guide doggies.
This is in large measure do to the persistent efforts of IAADP NAGDU, and
GDUI.

I had a lot of problems before 9-11 with airport security, sorry to say, I
mean there was some real nastiness or just maybe ignorance.

It's sad that a tragedy of earthshaking proportions such as 9/11 was what
precipitated a change...I tell you, people are funny.

So, I hope you and Humphrey Bogart have many more adventures.

May I ask a question out of curiosity? Do you have partial vision?
It just sounded like you might.  No problem--smile--just curious.
