Air Sickness

Wedding fun and while swimming in ocean am shocked and delighted to see three dolphins swimming only 20 yards away. Fun comes to crashing halt as plane is landing, doing lots of vigorous banking and dropping. Ascertain location of barf bag and then have to look quickly away. Try usual anti-airsickness methods--fixing attention on SkyMall, pretending that legs reach all the way to the ground (this makes things worse), Deep Breathing. While am waiting for luggage in the baggage return, Dave says, It's too bad you have to start and end every trip feeling terrible. Am afraid if talk will puke, so can only nod miserably and think privately to self that metaphor could be easily extended to all other parts of life. Have only recently become aware that not everybody has trouble with beginnings and endings.
