O, Canada!
(Thursday, Oct. 1, SW of Hudson Bay). Polar bears at Churchill, Canada, earthbound 36,000 feet below us and a few hundred miles northwest of our trail through the heavrns toward California might like the minus 68 degrees Fahrenheit weather outside the plane at 36,000 feet, but it's been nice and comfy napping under my "quilt" in my airborne bed even though at times the turbulence buffeting the plane makes it feel like I'm trying to sleep in one of those vibrating beds popular in the 1960's and that some malicious person keeps sticking quarters

Lunch and Two Movies
(Thursday, Oct. 1, Somewhere Over the Atlantic). Our five course luncheon was served while I was in the middle of watching "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" and finished up with a glass of port about two-
thirds of the way through a quirky John Malkovick" flick called The Great Buck Howard."
\At 3:15 pm, London time, we are flying south of Greenland at 499 mph, 33,000 above the planet, 3 hours and 52 minutes into the flight with 3,500 miles yet to go before reaching home. Our ETA is 2:10 PDT,
about seven hours from now.
The cabin lights have long since been turned off and most of the passengers in the First Class cabin are snoozing peacefully away. Time for me to turn my seat into a lie-flat bed and join them.

Rotation and Liftoff!
(Thursday, Oct.1, 200 feet above Heathrow). About 15 minutes behind schedule a BMI jet passed behind us and the Heathrow ground controller with a Scottish accent ok'd a "long push" back from our "stand" (gate)
so we could make room for another "Company" (United Airlines) plane which had just landed to take our place.
At 11:23 am the Captain turned our Boeing 777 onto runway 27 Left and pushed the throttles on the plane's big twin engines fully forward. A minute later the jet's nose rotated skyward, the rubber no longer met the road, and UAL flight 955 was on its way up to cruising altitude and 10 hours plus of flying time to San Francisco.
