I haven't posted for a long time, for reasons that are not interesting. Today I am taking a sick day, so why not break habit and take stock?

A belated end to the 2010 plane saga
The flights home Wednesday were fine. The first leg was indeed on a zippy little Embraer jet, small enough that I couldn't plant both my feet flat when sitting due to fuselage curvature. And yet, I was cool the whole way over. The crosswinds near the ground greeted the little plane with some playful buffeting as it prepared to land in Milwaukee, ( Read more... ) -
That was just the tutorial level
Today's itinerary has us flying an ickle plane from Columbus to Milwaukee (yes, not quite the right direction), and then a nice big jet for three hours back to Boston ( Read more... )
