Day Fifty,

Buzzwordy found himself kneeling next to a washroom sink inside the Toronto airport terminal.  Cold water was running down his face and his eyes were kinda halfway shut.

"I just don't believe this!  For such a large terminal, especially an international terminal, there is no one in this washroom.  How odd!" laughed Buzzwordy hysterically.

"Just one more leg to go and I will be in Tel Aviv.  Hell, this is a death march at its finest moment!" screamed the marketing whiz kid as he began to stand up.

On a count to three, Buzzwordy took off from the washroom like a roadrunner being pursued by a group of insatiable hunters.  He took a quick peek at the departure screen, found his gate information, and resumed his quick dash towards the destination.

"Keep the seeing dog in the front.  Keep the seeing dog in the front.  Keep the seeing ......" recited Buzzwordy repeatedly as he ran towards his gate.

While dashing frantically, Buzzwordy felt the passing images moving at the speed of light and everyone seemed so small and insignificant.  Without a reason, he suddenly found himself being the only lonely soul on the move.

"Keep the seeing dog in the front.  Keep the seeing ......" he started to recite the same line again.

Gate 33 finally appeared in front of him, and he was literally taken aback when confronted by a long line of people waiting to get on the plane.

"Holy shataun (an often used word by Buzzwordy when he is either amazed or upset)!" exclaimed Buzzwordy.

For no purposeful reason, he started to chant again, "Keep the seeing dog in the front.  Keep the seeing dog in the front.  Keep the seeing ......".

His nervousness must have caught the attention of an airport security officer.  Before Buzzwordy could get himself into the back of the line, he was being asked by the officer to present his picture ID and boarding pass.

"Why are you so nervous sir?  What is bothering you?" asked the stern officer.

Buzzwordy looked restless and jumpy, and he couldn't put words together to keep the officer off his back.  Without blurting a single word, he shoved his picture ID right in the officer's face.

"Who is this guy in the picture?" inquired the curious officer.

"Me.  It is me before stress begins to eat my body up!" replied the distraught Buzzwordy.

The security officer did not find Buzzwordy's answer funny at all.  He took another look at the picture ID and signaled Buzzwordy to stay put while he got on his walkie-talkie.

"Hello sir, look at you.  Were you looking for us?  My family is right over there!" smiled the same old man whom Buzzwordy met on the plane as he approached the perspiring marketing whiz kid.

"Oh hi.  How are you doing?" grinned the reluctant Buzzwordy.

"Are you kidding me?  Is this you Bosley, my favorite airport security guard?  Why are you giving my friend a hard time?  He needs to get on the plane with me now." said the old man while expressing displeasure to the security officer.

"Hey, it is good to see you my old friend.  Hope all is well with you and your family.  So you know this strange fellow?" asked the security officer in a somewhat more relaxed manner.

"Oh yes.  I know him well and he is a good guy.  So can he go now?" asked the old man.

"Alright.  Just this time.  Hey, you Mr. Buzzwordy, watch yourself and for Pete's sake, stop jerking your body!" said the security officer while shaking his head.

Buzzwordy stood motionless and was totally unaware of what had just transpired around him.  His subconscious mind began to overtake his consciousness and urged him to start his chanting again.

"Lets go now.  They are doing the final boarding call.  Hurry!" urged the old man in a pushy voice.


Alas, Buzzwordy had finally made it onto the plane.


See you all on Day Fifty One.
