So work flew me down to LA again for the second time since the beginning of the year. And it has just dawned on me that I do not like to fly. And that I don’t like being in a car unless I’m driving. Maybe I’m just getting old. ---

you know with southwest, you can print out your boarding pass online - so you wind up getting A seating rather than waiting to last to get onboard. the weather was actually quite clear flying down from SF to LA - nice and sunny. but i dunno - the whole recycled air and sitting next to strange people just got to me today. ---
