The sun has just left my little window and reflects on the airplane wing. I am typing on the Macbook just after taking a few video shots of the clouds outside.Rufus Wainwright's California is on my i-phone earplugs.I am in flight IE 105 to JFK. It was not really my own decision to make. The plane we were in yesterday and that should have broughts us to Philadelphia this morning, was delayed (again). The lady at the pre US immigration control figured that it must have been a prophecy. 
30 mins ahead of schedule we are to land in New York. Jihoo. Will I have time to travel into the Big Apple? Will Homeland Security be as nice and quick as they were today? Air Lingus is a serious improvement over US Airways, though still not a bad word on their way of rearranging things. I have an empty chair next to me, private on board entertainment screen in front of me and just had some snacks with my orange juice.
Up to California (ETA 10 PM ).
SA 04/11/09 8:30 PM Amsterdam/7:30 PM Dublin/2:30 PM New York/11:37 AM San Diego:
Stop over at JFK means: a Budweiser, Fox News at 4 screens or more, waiting and hanging around.Gettin' confused on day and night. Still 5 hours to fly, or 8?
(Uit een Kronkel van Simon Carmiggelt: "Mannen op hun beurt zijn van een uiterst delicate structuur. Zij genezen nooit geheel van het zondige heimwee naar de eenzaamheid die Adams overvreemdbaar deel was, voor die affaire met zijn rib" .[ Men, in turn, have a very delicate structure. They never heal from the sinnful home sickness to lonelyness, which was Adam's ...... part due to the affaire with his rib ]. Well, certainly not the opposite. Again, it was Rufus. He called upon some 'homesickness' with me. )
Midnight april 11 to 12, I am at my hotel. 50 hours have past since I left Amsterdam.....
