searching for a black hat of my own.....

ok, so......my middle child declined to help me decide on an airline/itinerary.....only encouraging me to select the airline that won't crash.....that is easy for him to say, because he has his lucky black hat...the one he has never died in......it has safely transported him on numerous excursions.....and now it would seem that i need to find my own talisman......should it be wearable, or merely holdable, or tuckawayable.....i do have a buckeye in my purse.....so it is possible that i already have some protection on board......my grandpa slipped a buckeye in my pocket when he took us to the airport in cleveland at the start of our 3-week european honeymoon...the one i now carry is from the same tree, though not the original......buckeyes are designed to sprout, not withstand the perils of pockets or purses.......
