Flights

So, I only flew once -- to Texas -- last year. And, getting myself up in that plane was a real challenge. Now, as of tomorrow, I will have already flown twice in 2003. I'm going to Japan and will be flying for about eleven hours. And, frankly I'm petrified. Today, I also made reservations for this year's flight to Texas and a flight to Chicago. Immersion not aversion is the key to getting over fears, I guess. Still, I'd be a whole lot happier if I didn't perform my little flight reservation ritual where I read the various flight numbers aloud while saying "More on the tragedy of flight xx" to see which numbers stand out as disaster-report friendly.
