Yup, flying home. The home part is cool, but the flying part I could do without. Looking at about 26 hours here, and 3 airports including a stop in Cincinnatti, which I don't think I can spell. Anyone know of anything fun to do in the airport in Cinncinati?

make sure you have a good book and have a beer. I'm weird, I like airports

I'm just about to finish 'My Name is Red'. I'll have to find one that competes with that. Or, maybe I'll just read some trash. Nothing like a good trashy novel for a long flight....

Have you read any Dan brown. That is good flying reading?

I was planning to steal my dad's Dan Browns for the trip back. Can't quite bring myself to pay the full Turkish price for one. I think for the trip there I'll take scot47's recommendation-- a murder mystery set somewhere in the frozen north, maybe Sweden? Or Norway? People's names have those 'A's with the little circles over them...

The Arabs and the yoghurt is pretty funny. I'm still giggling about the Arabs and the wine.

Now, I'm off to think about what disgustingly ostentatious things I might do if I had that kind of money to throw around. I'm ever so cautious, even in my imagination. T-bills? Real estate? Bad, justme, bad!
