9/13/2002 9:06 AM PST…Flying over the Atlantic en route to Ireland. Distance to destination (London) is miles, altitude 37000 feet, distance traveled 1361 miles will take 4:41 more…location is flying over the Atlantic just north of Newfoundland near Stephenville. Lewis and Clark would be jealous. Ground speed 920 km/hour. Outside temperature is –49 degrees Celsius.

Dulles airport was downright empty this morning when we left. Seemed like a bad omen for the recovery, which will take a longer time than even an optimist would predict. If only those bandwidth brats who crave the mobile lifestyle and ubiquitous broadband would grow up and start working/earning money/spending money faster.
