Ode to a Banana

Pleasantries bananas, flying, patience, travel Leave a comment Maggie

I don’t like bananas. It’s the taste and the texture combination that always makes me gag a little. Riper bananas are the worst if you are eating them fresh. But a green banana is really no good either, at that point it basically has no flavor at all. I eat them at the middle stage,…

It’s Up in the Air

Pleasantries choices, flying, manners, personal growth, travel Leave a comment Maggie

Sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do. Sometimes it’s not. Are you going on a date with that guy you kind of like? Not sure, it’s up in the air. Going to buy the new shoes that are a great deal but you don’t really need? Hard to say, up in the air. Where…

The less than friendly skies.

Pleasantries children, flying, manners, tolerance 1 Comment Maggie

Most of us seem to be at a place where we can take flying for granted and thus be annoyed by the whole experience. I have not forgotten that it is basically a miracle that we are all hurtling through space, well above the safety of the earth in a glorified tin can, and I…

It’s in Your Hands

Pleasantries acceptance, flying, travel, trust Leave a comment Maggie

I write a lot about my experiences flying because I fly a lot – so I have material. Much of what I write is snarky or an expression of my annoyance with my fellow passengers, the TSA, airlines, really all of it because there is a lot of material out there. For instance I might…

Pleasantries America, control, fear, flying, freedom Leave a comment Maggie

Back in the Saddle

Pleasantries acceptance, emotional growth, fear, flying, travel Leave a comment Maggie

Where, you might ask, does the phrase “back in the saddle” come from? You might not ask because it is rather obvious but I am going to answer anyway. When you are riding a horse, or breaking a horse as the case may be, and the horse throws you off a significant amount of pain…

The Particular Magic of Dogs

Pleasantries dogs, flying, love, travel Leave a comment Maggie

Different animals seem to have different magic about them. There are of course the unique traits of individuals and breeds but if you can generalize about animal magic certain species seem to be better at certain things than others. Dogs, I believe, are particularly good at love magic. One of my dogs has love power…

My Comfort Zone

Pleasantries, Recovery choices, comfort, fear, flying Leave a comment Maggie

If I had to pick a place to be it would very likely be somewhere near water. I don’t love being in water, unless it is very warm outside or very warm in the water (I don’t like being cold), but I do very much like being water adjacent. That is, I like being able…
