apologies

I fear I have been hoisted on my own petard.

I invested a good deal of your energy in building up anticipation for my summary of the Emirates flight -- and then nothing appeared yesterday. Nor will it today.

We have had a medical emergency (not mine, this time). I suspect I will not now have time to write the essay until I get back to Mexico. Monday sounds like a good date.

Until then, I will leave you with this bit of zen from the Dubai-Los Angeles flight. Have a snack on me while you wait.

See you soon. I hope.
