My 3rd and final NYC story...A sad story

JTH and I wake up Monday morning at 6am. As much as we would have loved to stay for both shows, life just wouldn't allow it. JTH needed to get back home to his lovely bride Erin, and their 3 children. I needed to get back home to my lovely bride Kathy, and back to work Monday night. We wake up at 6am., after about 4 hours sleep, and I actually feel pretty damned good, considering. But we both stayed sober on Sunday, so 4 hours of sleep was enough. Soon enough I would be back at home, in Chicago, where I could take a nice 5 hour nap before heading to work.
We arrive at the airport 2 hours before the flight takes off, and I am ok with that. We find a nice little bagel shop, where we sit at the counter, drink some coffee, enjoy a bagel, and continue to giggle about the "Jeremy Guy". After 2-3 cups of coffee and some good banter, it is time to head to the plane. This is where the story gets sad.
On the way to the plane I decide to use the restroom. 3-4 cups of coffee and a bagel later, a restroom is what I need. Well that goes well, and off I go. I check in, I take my seat on the plane, and 15 seconds later I realize I left my cell phone in the restroom. A frantic dash through people boarding the plane, and a few OJ Simpson moves through the airport, I am back in the restroom.
My phone is of course gone.
I have no more pictures of my trip to NYC.
I have lost all my contacts.
It is all gone in an instant.
I now have my new phone with the same number.
So please, my friends, if you have my number please send me a text, and tell me who you are. And PLEASE don't fuck with me and tell me "This is Eddie Vedder". I am truly sad right now. All my pics and everything else from NYC is gone. I need everyones number again.
Joe?
Trisha?
Kevin?
Larry?
Storman Norman?
Kyle?
Ashley?
And everyone else. Please contact me today or tomorrow, send me a text and let me know who you are. I need to update all my contacts. As I type this out I still cant believe I have nothing!
