what's in a name?

I left late last night from Toronto Pearson ... arrived in Belfast this morning ... in the WEE hours of the morning for you Canadian folks ...
To the right is the lovely plane I was 'allowed' to get on.
There's a story in itself having to do with my passport and the check-in agent with the airline I was flying on ... lets just say - after my passport walked away from me TWICE - I think in the end the poor young guy learnt a lesson. The thing that might have been news to him is that a legal name is a legal name - and that's what people should fly under, AND I'm NOT on the 'no fly list'. The lesson may not have taught him to be 'big' enough to admit it - but even someone like myself (who's not that great at 'reading' people) was able to 'tell' that a breakthrough may have happened. I wonder how many more lessons I can learn or even teach in the next few days and the next few countries.

Leaving for Rome tomorrow, Paris on Thursday, London on Saturday ... back to Belfast LATE Saturday night, followed by 2 weeks of checking out Ireland.

Okay I'm trying to read between the lines, but you've got to spell it out for me. What happened here?

And your Ma is reading this and wondering the same thing. Legal name I can understand, I think. 'No fly list,' uum .. is it because you were too young, or you were flying alone .. ?? NOW I AM CURIOUS!
