Travelers. Engineers. Executives. Software trainers. Students. Costume designers. Teachers. Farmers. Mom, dad, and two kids. Four friends going on a trip together. Writers. Merchants. Pilots. Musicians. Arriving early, waiting in line, calling home, checking voice mail, touching base, checking in, reading, drinking coffee. Airport rituals. Delayed, fuel gauge broken, waiting for crew, waiting for parts, waiting for a substitute plane. Waiting on the runway, waiting in the aisle, waiting in baggage, waiting by the curb, waiting in traffic. Where is the thrill in flying anymore? I don't fly in my dreams anymore. I drive.
