I get nervous about any change in routine, especially involving flying, though I can calm myself. I actually didn't fly for 20+ years, like since the war of terror began. A good book always helps. I finished my library books and the one in transit will be returned before I can pick it up, so I think I will buy it. It's called On the Calculation of Volume (Book 1). If I love it, and my intuition hints that I may, there will eventually be 6 more volumes.

That didn't work out. Now i think i'll reread Tillie Olsen's Silences and ask the library to please extend my hold on On the Calculation of Volume until I return.
