New York

I feasted on pork last night to celebrate my return to the good old US of A.  A short (and cheap!) 13 hour flight from Cairo deposited me safely despite some insane maneuvering during the landing approach - ostensibly the same flight plan used to airlift supplies to West Berlin in the 1950's - and I was welcomed back by a news report about a set of couples who were simultaneously wed on a rollercoaster.  I think I prefer my televisual news to be in a foreign tongue and script, thank you much.   

Anyways, the weather is nice and I was able to go back to sleep after waking at 0430 LMT, so all is good!

Cheers and thanks,
