life does get tamer as one goes along
doesnt it? well...
got some sleep last night and I believe
I will again survive the trip and will
wave as we cross yr lattitude,
wishing good days!

I wonder if you'll be in one of the planes that passes directly overhead? What a strange thought- to be within hailing distance (almost) and yet completely unreachable.

yes...I expect it can depend on
weather conditions what course they take
but I think most commonly the go further
north (shetlands or so, norway,
sweden, st pete ...)
well Im not quite sure of the route but
"Whenever they's a fight so hungry people can eat,
I'll be there. Whenever they's a cop beatin' up a guy,
I'll be there . . . . I'll be in the way guys yell when
they're mad an'-I'll be in the way kids laugh when
they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our
folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they
build-why, I'll be there.
Steady on. that's not me at all! still
its a nice quote.
blessin's

Tom Joad in the sky over the UK? How very 21st Century! I hope by the time I am typing this that you are well on your way.

I'm not entirely sure, but isn't that the Ballad of Joe Hill?

Have a good time in Russia!

a good guess but no it is tom joad
saying goodbye to his mother at the end
of grapes of wrath by john steinbeck.
which was also a not terrible movie...
sentimentail of course but...
well I am here. the plane was absolutely
full, they checked us with temperature reading
for swine flu on arrival and had only two lanes
open for passport control an hour in line but
some of us got in the russians only line which
was the only one of the two that was moving
and got through..,

Ah yes, I should have recognized it.

I haven't read the book, but I love John Ford.
