I Am So Popular: And Then The Cops Came
Wednesday morning, after sixteen hours of flying, three hours of layovers, and another couple of hours in security, customs, and passport control lines, I arrived back in Austin after two weeks in Israel. My son picked me up and we ran errands for a while, including a stop so he could sign his very first lease. And then, annihilated by jet lag, I headed home to sleep. Which is when I noticed my back door had been kicked in, my house intruded upon.
And then the cops came.
As one who cannot resist making connections, it didn’t take me long to relate my trip to the Middle East, my son’s foray into first time tenant-hood, and the violation of my personal space by a stranger who, had I had the misfortune of coming upon him, could well have beat the shit out of me or killed me.
