Yeah, I'm jealous

Here I am in wedged into row 39 on the Chicago-London flight (and somewhat grateful that it?s an aisle), while my very, very good friend Karl is sitting pretty in row one. I can contain my jealousy, to an extent, of those road warriors in business class, but he?s in First Class! That hurts. Last time we flew together it was in tourist class back from Samos, almost exactly 10 years ago. Maybe in 10 more years he?ll have his own private jet?

I should have mentioned the legendary John Bonham flying story to him. I could use the blanket as a moisture barrier. Stuff dries fast in the air anyway, as I discovered on the way out to the US a week ago, after my seat neighbor?s iced cranberry drink slid off the table and into my lap.

Ah well, only another 6 hours and ?change? and, unlike Karl, I?m not going straight to work. The Melatonin should kick in soon ? around the time I finish my super-tasty airline meal. Then, earplugs in and lights out and I?ll be in First Class dreamland.
