You know where I'd like to be right now? Aboard a crowded airplane. At night. Before take-off, listening to the whine of idling engines, the sursurration of passengers as they fumble with their overhead nightlights, the never-quite-loud-enough tunage of airline "radio" through cheap headphones.

I close my eyes and we take off into the deep anonymity of night.

WMB--

I'd come *this* close to mentioning the obligatory "last call" for electronic devices but decided against it at the last moment. There's something poetic about relinquishing the virtual omnipotence of PDAs and Blackberries for a few hours of actual flight.
