Comments on: 73.  Can You Beat That?

Remind me to never fly anywhere that gets heavy snow. I get impatient when there’s an unusually long taxi before takeoff and/or after landing, which happened on my flight back from Honolulu yesterday. This may or may not have to do with the simple fact that I really hate flying, and the takeoff is always the most nerve-wracking and vertigo-inducing part of it for me, so I just want to get it the heck over with already. (Of course, in the end, I do realize that all of the annoying delays that cause air travel to be an all-day affair are really because lots of checking and double-checking needs to be done to ensure that I arrive at my destination safely, and it’s a lot harder for a competent pilot to crash a plane than my paranoid, rapidly beating heart telling me it is.) </p> That de-icing business sounds like a nightmare.

What a blessing it was to me to see so many SBU students sponsoring kids! It was worth the long drive! And I wondered as I drove home if the “Show-me State” skepticism is something that kicks in later in life? I’m much more skeptical at 44 than I was at 24. I overthink things way too much now. </p> <p> Great to see you! </p> <p> Cynthia </p> I hope you got your well deserved sleep.
