Lounge Lizzard-like

I' m in Philadelphia. in the lounge.

A few minutes after I boarded the plane to Philadelphia. in Cleveland they paged Jack Sender. We hadn’t taken off. I had just taken my seat in the rear portion of the plane. Oh, no. Why did they page me? I worried about you.

They said, "If Jack Sender is aboard he should press the blue button."
I looked. The light was blue but the button was white, but I pressed it anyway.
The attendant up front looked back and waved at me and I waved back. The announcement came back “We have found your wallet.” She was talking to me.
Was I going to get another wallet from another Jack Sender?

I had boarded the plane early and was in the back, so I had to wait fifteen minutes for everyone else to sit down before I could go up and get Jack Sender’s wallet.

During the wait I realized that my wallet, the blue pouch with the zipper containing my cash and credit cards were missing. I waited fifteen minutes for the other passengers to sit down before I could walk up front and get it.

When I finally got the wallet, my wallet, I opened it and my money and cards were there. Walking back to my seat, still looking, I noticed my passport was not there.

I told the attendant and began looking in my computer bag and all my pockets for the passport. They were waiting for me to close the airplane’s doors. I could stay in Cleveland and look for my wallet or go to Philadel. I looked in my bag and all my coat and pants pockets and didn’t find my passport.

I thought the best way to search was to dump the entire contents of my back pack out so I could single out the passport, when a passenger a seat in front of me pointed at my chest and said “What’s that?” In my shirt pocket was my passport.

Suddenly all was well. We flew on from Cleveland.

I have decided not to see downtown Philiad. this time.

I am in Philia in the lounge where the internet is this year free, but they said you can’t bring in any outside food and I just had a sandwich you packed for me. Hope all is well with you.

Hmmm... maybe when people reach our age its not a bad idea to ask others to look us over when we fear we have lost something. Who knows what they might find eh?! Have a fine trip to Roma Jack Sender.
