This is when I'm a basket case. I spent much of today packing, repacking for weight, and second-guessing every decision along the way. A lot of my life's successes have come from my confidence in the moment, living in the present tense. My worst anxieties, however, stem from my distrust of my past and future selves.

Because I don't trust my past self to have turned off the oven I worry it might still be on. Since I don't trust my future self I concoct elaborate contingency plans to counter unlikely scenarios. Packing brings out the worst, since failures by the past self will result in
problems my future self must deal with, and I don't trust either of those idiots.

Once I'm on the plane, however, everything changes. The moment I take my seat I'm functioning in the present, which is my strong suit. The trick for me is to have faith that the competencies of my other selves are as up to their tasks.

Warning: It's a bit pricey, both for the wallet and the waistline. But it's also insanely good.

Eggs Hussard from Brennan's followed up with a Banana Royale.

And if you do manage to pull that off, raise a bite Westward and savor it for me.
