I was flying with my Dad to Wisconsin for his memorial on Saturday.

These kind TSA agents [Southwest Florida International Airport TSA Officer Andrew Whitehair and Lead TSA Officer Ryan Bacidore] were very gentle when asking if I was OK with them swabbing him. I told them my Dad loved a good story and having to be swabbed for explosive residue would have tickled him.

Still having adventures and making memories with my Dad.
