It's like the notebook: January 2009

I wrote this on the back of my paper itinerary on the plane

2.5 hours until we land according to the map guide on the screen in front of my eyes
watching the plane image progress along the flight path
characteristically my impatience continues even traveling across the atlantic
i hate this cough. im not sick
i dropped my notebook in the seat crack
the passenger next to me is going to Israel.
It's really dark out. Millions of stars on the wing tips
My concept of time is even more fucked up now. time zones are crazy.
I like watching the map better than the inflight movie choices. distance traveled 4122 km. i wish i could sleep. tailwind 23 km/h ground speed 912 km/h -47 C outside air temp. METRIC

Inauguration Day

Today the 44'th President of the United States of America was sworn into office.
President Obama presented a powerful speech this morning. His power and eloquence with words promise Obama to be a great communicator for my country. I know his words will not be forgotten soon. Communication, in our ever changing world, is becoming increasingly important to keep our local and global communities flourishing.
