IW- I really think sitting up front makes a giant difference. It was so nice, and interesting, and smooth. Let's charter a flight and I will show you.

TK- Pilot Jay was pretty charming. We charmed each other, I think, because we exchanged email addresses at the end of the day. As he said "It will never hurt you to have a pilot as a friend, and I, personally, can always use a good hag."

I'm not gonna lie, I am picturing the shelves in your house being, like, smurf-height.

Those little planes go down a lot. No way in hell I'd fly on one of them.

Also, if it were me talking to the lady at the counter, I think I would've decked her. And then felt real real bad for doing that when she was just having a good time with me. Woops.

Dave's right, but your whole blog should be a tv show. I'd pay. Who would you want to play you? Also, what did you weigh?

Word verification: resse. It's Scooby Doo's pronunciation of the classic Rick Springfield song. Which could maybe be your show's theme song? hey just thinking out lound

i really enjoy the kind of flying where i can pretend i'm not suspended thousands of feet in the air.
this little plane situation would have made me lose my shit. entirely. i would never have made it anywhere for the hyperventilating i would have done at the counter.

This would NEVER happen to me. All of my business travel is purchased using some kind of discount that requires all airline employees to exhale deeply when they see my ticket. Once I noticed that one of my flights was not very full. I asked the lady at the counter if any free upgrades were available, she said, "Pshhhhttbththbtttt! Not with THAT ticket."

This whole episode should be made into a movie. I pay to watch it.

SO. JEALOUS.

Except, of course, were it me I would have been fidgeting and tried to move to tie my shoe and then accidentally elbowed the pilot in the temple, knocking him unconscious and thereby killing us both as well as the bus full of schoolchildren the plane would have crashed into.

You were probably just charmingly awkward. Damn you.

I am a terrible flier. In fact, the worst flying experience I ever had was when I was flying to DC to visit my husband when he was teaching a year at UVA. My flight had been canceled and I was all despondent (this was before 9/11, so one was allowed to be despondent), so they put me on another flight! JOY!

I was concerned when they weighed me. I was even more concerned to learn I'd gain
