Delta is providing the transportation as we head to Florence, Kentucky for
the twin’s baptism tomorrow. We’re about 45 minutes from landing when the
Blackberry will get a signal and this missive will be sent.

The flight has been completely uneventful. Flying has long since lost its
glamour and allure. I’ve been wondering if if would be possible to put
together a “frills” airline that didn’t cram everyone in like cattle and
treat them like peasants. Would it really cost that much more? Trains once
were the elegant way to travel but now the service is so poor in the U.S.
that most folks don’t even consider travel by train. On the other hand,
Ijll be in Europe in a couple of weeks and would probably use the train for
any long-distance travel. For instance, I could fly Virgin Atlantic (an
airline that seems to do well while treating people like they have value)
to London and then take the train through the Chunnel for a price less than
air fare. We’ll see….

We’ve begun our descent into the Cincinnati Airport. The trip will soon be
over. Nina’s caught a cold and is feeling pretty poorly. Lousy timing for a
cold!
