Back

I was the only one in my three-seated row on the flight from Boston to Dallas-Fort Worth this morning. There used to rarely be even a single open seat on that route before Covid hit. I'm in Texarkana in my hotel room with the AC going now. It's in the mid-seventies outside, but that sun is hot, like it does here. Things are greening up, purple blossoming trees. The grackles are doing their thing. I got happy seeing those birds again. They're hard-knock creatures but they look kind of classy in their dinner jacket and tails. It's in how you carry yourself. No sleep last night. Gonna get a couple hours now on good hotel pillows.
