"we may experience some turbulence"

so quoth the pilot on both flights to and from michigan, as he woefully informed us that the bumpy ride would also mean no in-flight drinks. something about the safety of the flight attendants and big rolling carts. i just think the airlines are looking for any excuse to cut corners and stay afloat, figuratively speaking, of course.

instead of drinking delicious watered-down cran-apple, i assumed the always attractive middle seat position: wall street journal placed strategically on my lap, head cricked back, leaned on some rolled-up t-shirts, with my ladylike mouth dangling open. i just hope i didn't snore.
