I’m on a flight to Amsterdam, and I’ve already been convinced that I will *never* fly Northwest again (yes, I’ve already composed an email to their CEO).  The seating in coach is actually worse than on 90% of the domestic flights I’ve been on lately. There’s just no leg room.  

After they served us something they claimed was chicken, I had an idea about a movie.  You may have seen or heard about “Supersize It” about a guy who eats nothing but McDonalds for a month, and his body goes to hell.  I’d like to do a movie about a guy who eats nothing but airplane food for a month.  I’m not sure what the caloric intake would be, and I think the person would go insane from the blandness.  It would be funny nonetheless…

The one bright side to this trip is the amount of sunlight we’re getting.  It’s midnight local time, right above Godthab, Greenland and a nice balmy -63F outside.  It’s also very sunny outside.  It hasn’t been dark the entire flight, even though we left around 1pm Seattle time on Sunday, and will arrive in Amsterdam at 9am on Monday.  I’ve lost a night somewhere…
