Drinking fresh mango juice
Goldfish shoals, nibbling at my toes

Wow. I’m alive. I would have put money against that not too long ago.

It’s really funny how most flights are fine, and then some flights are just cursed.

Case in point: Tuesday’s American Eagle 5162 from San Juan to St. Thomas.

Well, that was a flight. Probably second only to the Josh-cursed flight to Dallas back in 2006 that I wrote about here.
