Howard snorts a bit. He could shoot back that he wouldn't care about John, but he does care about Barbara and Ian and for that reason and than reason only, wouldn't want their kid sick.
He tenses as they brake. He's still worried about car accidents.
"Everything. Double and triple checked." This may be the only chance he gets until he's an old man - eventually he'll be old enough that his life will start overlapping with his childhood, but he doesn't want to wait until he's sixty. "I wrote down some other stuff we can do while we're there, you know, in case it doesn't pan out. San Francisco is supposed to have some nice museums, you know?"
Howard won't be terribly interested in museums, but he expects Barbara might want to experience America, and if this doesn't pan out he'll need a distraction.
