Changing the channel



We should switch continents for a year. I owe it to Gary, who’s right: There is, at least for right now, a “ragelessness” here in Amsterdam. My San Francisco rootlessness would benefit from a channel switch.


Only what do we do about January and February?


Jet lag lost this time; “Premier” class won. It’s not a joke. They give you a few more inches in coach. You can cross your legs without doing yoga.




We ran into Hester and Dan, our gracious house swappers, in D.C. Given Amsterdam’s present weather, the Bay area fog is the better deal. Ugh. 90 and no breeze. But the cafes are full and the beer is cold.
