Hello from Munich.. busy day here. Afterwards was at the Marriot bar having  a drink with my friend Lisa when a very familiar woman walked by. I started paging through my mental Rolodex to remember where I knew her from.. was it work ? was it from home.. She new exactly.. She’s one of my favorite fight attendants on United.. She generally  makes  the Munich/DC run. I have seen her and talked to her  so often in that context it took m a second to recognize her in this very different context.   

This is Margot.. the nicest  flight attendant I know.. I’ve even blogged about her before !

Saturday evening – Friendly Skies

Margot sat down with us for a while and we were able to catch up . Turns out Margot’s daughter blogs too…. and her mom helps by proofreading. . I took a look, you should too.. it’s a beautiful blog with lots of  beautiful hair.. and, I must add, beautiful proofreading 🙂

en route back to germany.. trip 44. x

one side effect of frequent travel is running out of things to watch on tv on the plane..

luckily … I get on binges and follow them to the end.. it allows me to fully immerse in a series. eg. i’ve watched:

• The Big Lebowski   – 17 times
• Fight Club – 16 times
• Lost in Translation –  9 times
• Juno – 6 times
• Westworld (the same 3 episodes 3 times)
• i’m now watching the bbc’s Blue Planet,.. 3 times so far.. So great !

thank goodness for TV on planes !
