Back in the day (mid-to-late '80's) I worked a job that required a $H!TT0NNE of travel. One year I turned in 45,000 air miles for a free roundtrip to Tahiti (that was nice.) But airplanes and airports ... I've gotten into the habit of shutting down my awareness of the world around me, because I was feeling the sadness, the desperation, the exhaustion, of the other people too intensely.
