8:08pm Seattle:

As of last check, we were somewhere over water near Siberia. Watched a few of the in-flight movies, “Hitch” and “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” which were nice. I’ve been trying out the radio stations and it’s a little spooky. One has played Lucinda Williams, Nina Simone, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Etta James. Am feeling blessed. Philosophically, it’s like a cheesy sequel: “Lost Little Girls Go to Japan.”
