In Transit

I watched as they passed over Connecticut and the mountains and lakes of New York. I watched as they flew over the Appalachians, with Lake Erie far to the north and perhaps the lights of Akron and Cleveland shining in the night. I watched as Columbus passed under them and then Dayton off the right wing.

And now, I imagine their descent has begun: Tray tables and seats in their upright positions. And now they turn to the west, north of Fairfield, south of Hamilton, flying over the hills. And now their final approach.

And I wonder if she's been sitting by the window.

Plausible Deniability Denied

Don't tell me you don't remember. Don't tell me you didn't know. For if you don't or if you didn't, then you need to find a different line of work.

Got any better excuses?

I'll see you on November 7th.
