... so much for my homage to Peter, Paul &Mary but I will, indeed, be leaving on a jet plane in a very short while, bound for New Zealand until late August. Travel time, according to the ticket, is 37-1/2 hours so I'm bringing along some really thick books: "The Stand" by Stephen King; "Watership Down" by Richard Adams; "The Foundation Trilogy" by Isaac Asimov and "The Inexplicables" by Cherie Priest. I'm also bringing along two shorter classics: "Trouble is my Business" by Raymond Chandler and "The Quick Red Fox" by John D. MacDonald. I figure I won't be ale to read them all unless we get stuck in an airport for an unexpectedly long time. Airlines don't like you to think about things like that - they're always boasting about arriving on time or even ahead of schedule - but it's been my experience that delays can (and do) happen. When they do, there's nothing worse than sitting in an airport with nothing to read...
