1. If you start the day at 5:30AM watching The Godfather while waiting for your flight, you will end up doing the Don Corleone voice for the rest of the day. Air hostesses will throw you strange looks.
<sigh> The burdens of travel.
2. Neon socks are not exactly ideal travel attire, apparently. Guards at security check will stare/glare at your feet. Squinting at the raw fluorescence.
3. I realized today that the dawn actually does chase the night. Literally. So this morning, as my flight took off, I could see the pre-dawn horizon through the window to my left, and it shocked me. How could I have been alive for twenty three years and not known this about the sunrise?
What I saw through the pane was a sky entirely blue, except for a strip running along the horizon that was a deep, rich orange. Apparently, someone took a very large brush and dunked it in a tub of orange this morning, before dipping the tip in a pool of pink and running a streak across the sky - all along the horizon.
That someone does this every morning, exactly the same way. The day starts as a strip of colour and pushes against the night, growing into it till it takes over the sky. I like that. It makes me happy.
