The Travels of Lucky Bear: Up in the Air

Lucky Bear is up, up, up in the air. Bound for England and beyond. Whoopee!

Lucky tries hard to empathise with the frequent flyers of this world as they bemoan the drudgery and tiresomeness of overseas travel. Lucky tries… but to no avail. They are so lucky!! Stuck up high in the sky, waited on, fed, and entertained [once you ask your 9 year old how to operate the screen control]. It’s hard to find a down side.

It’s like the lady who regaled Lucky the other week about the paid help. The gardener pruned the roses too short. The nanny had car troubles. The cleaner missed the upstairs loo. Lucky looked empathetic [it is what bears are good at] but really when 90% of the world can’t afford anything of the sort some people need to get a little perspective. A new Lenten discipline: get a job cleaning loos in a city office block. A new definition of ‘holy shit’?

Perspective is what you have up here in the sky. Whoopee! Now back to my third movie and fifth drink. Lucky bear!!!!
