Hey, I just had to go to Newark for the day (oh, I live the high life) and had the same dark thoughts about a plane crash. The fact that my return flight was nearly 3 hours late, leaving Newark after midnight in questionable weather on a small plane did not help. At least I can report that I made it home intact with only some raw nerves and a little claustrophobia to show for the trip. Oh, and the project I was working on, of course. It must be a mom thing…

Hey, I know that guy up there! I was just going to say that even though I know it is totally irrational, I feel a little bit like that about flying now too. Of course I am also a more cautious driver now. I think having small kids makes you realize what devastation it would cause if something happened.

You talk about flying the same way my wife (Jill) does. I guess it’s just a maternal instinct since I don’t recall her ever feeling that way before she had kids. Or maybe 9/11. That might have had an impact, too.
