On the Road



Photograph by William Eggleston.

I'm off to Costa Rica for a vacation with my family, so I won't be posting for a week or so. In addition to the rain forest and a country that's totally new to me, I'm looking forward to catching up with some DVD's I've had out from Netflix since Christmas and the book "Pictures at a Revolution. Five Movies and the Birth of the New Hollywood" by Mark Harris, which has had some pretty fabulous reviews.

Talk to you soon...

Sadly the Eggleston photograph is from a truly bygone era. On the way out I was in a middle seat next to a guy so wide that he literally spread over me. After a few minutes I couldn't take it and I discretely asked the stewardess if there was anything she could do to move me. (The flight was completely sold out.) To my amazement after a few minutes of intense discussion among the flight crew I was ushered into 1st Class and a Delta employee who was hitching a free ride was put in my seat. Unprecedented! But it shows you've got to stick up for yourself.
