So I'm going on a little trip, a much needed one month vacation from Green Apple, San Francisco, and I think, my brains. Where I'm going doesn't really matter, what does is that I'll be catching a bunch of flights over the period of the next thirty some odd days. I've never really been a fan of flying. I try to stay within reach of the ground most of the time. So I'm saying that this will be something for me. I keep trying to have a sense of humor about it, think about this
James Tate poem and just be cool-
We Aim to PleaseI went to the cabin and said to
the pilot, "Excuse me, Captain, but it seemsas if I left my camera in the airport. Isthere a chance we could go back?" "Noproblem," he said, and the plane began toturn and descend at a tremendous speed. The
passengers were screaming and I was thrown offmy feet and struggling to stand. I crawledback to the cabin and said, "Excuse me, Captain,I found my camera after all. No need to return."The captain said "No problem." And the planebegan its turn and rapid ascent, and I was
thrown backward again, and the passengerswere screaming even more shrilly. But soonwe were back on course, and the rest of theflight went smoothly, and the landingwas perfect. As we lined up to depart, the captainstood at the cabin door shaking hands withthe passengers. When it was my turn he said,
"What kind of camera do you have?" I said,"I don't have a camera." "You're my kind ofguy," he said. And then he hugged me. AndI kissed him in the cheek.God. That will probably happen to me.
So as I was saying, I'll be gone for April. Someone will most likely be blogging in my stead, but just in case there isn't I'll direct your attention to these other blogs that may fill the gap in my absence. These are things that I read on the semi-regular.

The Democratic Leadership Council has proposed "A Kindle in Every Backpack," (click for PDF file) a program designed to replace every kid's bookbag with a Kindle full of e-textbooks. Sure, it might lighten the load of their backpacks, but would they use them any more than their books?
