I'm typing this during my final flight from LAX to JFK. There's no in-flight entertainment (there technically is, but it's some old movie on a tube TV overhead), but I finally had a stroke of luck. The person in front of me did not recline her seat, so I can actually fit my computer on the food tray! Time for a bit of blogging and some work on book number two.

It's been a long trip, both the the overall adventure and this latest chain of airplane flights. I'm quite ready to settle back down into constant work mode, which, I think, is part of the point of a vacation. right now, though, I'm mostly looking forward to taking a shower, using some actual high speed internet, and then dropping myself off in bed.

I still have one more component of my trip to look forward to, though: developing my film, which I have studiously protected from nearly 10 airport x-ray machines!
