The Eagle Has Landed
Most of my recent trips have been on packed flights with no empty seats but we had some breathing room today. And I had the exquisite pleasure of a lovely seat mate on the way to Seoul. Vick was a retired plastic surgeon from the Philippines, educated by the Jesuits in his early years in…
