clear across the country

Took off from SFO earlier today, and the views were fog free for the first time in a while. I always love watching the city slowly sink away beneath me. It always looks so clean and unperturbed from that height. I sent down a silent "I love you." to G, who had returned home to one of those little buildings below after dropping me off at the airport. Then SF slided out of view and I amused myself by following along the waterways and trying to guess which towns lay below.

As the plane came in for a landing in Newark five hours later, the combination of cold, clear air and jet fuel exhaust made the lights below twinkle like stars. My legs were cramped from the non Jet Blue treatment, but I felt as if I was being welcomed in style.
