July 14, 2013 - Locked in the Upright Position

On a plane to Dublin, everything seems to be going smoothly. Once we ascended to our altitude, the captain says something over the intercom that sounds playful and the plane becomes vertical.

Then I picked up a turtle egg and while I was looking at it, it began to hatch in my hands. Josh said, "See, they were ready to come out."
