This story about Chuck and his poker faced wife turned my stomach. I am deeply sorry you had them beside you in the plane.

Thanks for your concern, Marjorie. It was awful and unexpected, but then we deplaned and he vanished into the terminal. I was really taken with my unwillingness to complain to the flight attendant or anyone in charge.

Complaining would have drawn attention to yourself so I get why you didn’t in this instance.

Thanks, Mary. I feel very connected to that idea and it's gratifying to find the right words to express it.

I don't know if I would call this sex, but I suppose if you have absolutely nothing better to do, this activity is not a total waste of time.

Fortunately, it was clear that this had nothing to do with me. What I found particularly fascinating was his wife's poker face throughout.

Thanks Susie for a well guided tour of your family visit and recent encounters.

Chuck & Mark certainly offered decided-not so -entertaining action - Bordering on - don’t look and thank you for saving me!

So much for uneventful flights when you were imagining just peace, joy, personal nourishment and inspiration time with your family!!

Nothing is uneventful any more. Everything is heavy with meaning, don't you think?
