Fly Away

Observations from sitting in an airport for several hours last week:

The demise of reading is greatly exaggerated. Most of the passengers were reading something (maybe not Tolstoy)and the gift shop bookstore was doing a brisk business.

Most young women jiggling through the airport have forgotten what bras are for.

Older men should not wear shorts--especially with dress shoes and black socks.

I -Pods and cell phones have taken not only the hearts of the nation, but the ears as well. (Aside--why must those talking on cell phones scream at the top of their voices?)

Blessings to the young mother I saw pushing a double stroller with screaming children and pulling a large black bag.

Kindnesses were shown to the young soldier just returned from Iraq in the Traam: "Glad you got back in one piece." "Be careful over there." "God bless you!"

Thank you Lord for a safe trip.
