Still ground bound in Vermont





Burlington in the only airport I've encountered that has specifically put in power strips in the waiting area for internet scavengers like myself. After all, why settle in to read a good book ("Water Witches", which I got so I could send it to Cary once I'm done)when you can blog...or work?

As you all know, there are moments throughout your life when you step back, lift your head to take a hard look at the world, and realize you've lost the glasses you've worn for the past 20 years..or you've had them taken from you. You can walk around without them, and accept the soft, fuzzy, and less distinct view of the world you are now stuck with, or you can go get new glasses, which will make the world's outline perhaps sharper and harsher than before. And your new frames won't be anything like your old frames, no matter how hard to look for your old friendly design. You will look different in the mirror, regardless. You may not really like that stranger in the mirror. But you know that sooner or later, you'll get used to her.

But you do have to decide.
