Sitting at Narita, steeling myself for the long ride in the cattle car, Business class is full-no way to upgrade……..some day I’ll have the money to buy that First Class ticket…or own my own jet.
However before I left for the train, I checked my mail. My new books from Amazon came. Cobra II, Edward R. Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast journalism, and a book about the techniques of “pick up artists” ( Skills I probably should have learned years ago………). Now I have some good reading on the plane. Already knee deep in Cobra II. It seems appropriate now as the Rummy debate goes on (and I hope it goes on).
There is a quote of Murrow’s that seems appropriate:
This is no time for those who oppose [Rumsfeld’s] methods to keep silent or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result.
Re-load, re-fuel and re-engage.
