Well, if you have to spend an entire day in an airplane (well,,,actually three airplanes), it's nice to fly first class. Especially when you are feeling a little older than you did the day before. (Yesterday, I picked up my first pair of PROGRESSIVE LENSES.)
tHE PERKS:
All the cookies you can eat.
Drinks, even before the plane takes off.
Room to stretch.
Time to read. I've been saving K A Nuzum's A SMALL WHITE SCAR, for this flight. By all accounts, it is wonderful.
If you need something wonderful to read this weekend, I just finished THE WEDNESDAY WARS, by Gary Schmidt. It was one of those books I did not want to finish--it was a pleasure to read. Great protag. Lots of texture. Vivid and meaningful sense of place. I just found out that Gary is teaching at Hamline. This week, I'll be selling many copies of a pb he wrote with Larry Kushner, IN GOD'S HANDS. A wonderful retelling of an old tale.
And cross your fingers for good air conditioning in St Louis.....
