Straightaway from the airport, I’m home from Phoenix, from the camp, and from
\na John F. Red-eye that swooped me overnight from the Pacific zone to the Eastern
\nzone: a warp of seven hours’ time in four. Best thing about the 48-minute
\nhop from NYC to Syracuse is that I was on Jet Blue and so caught the Top Chef<\/i>
\nsmackdown (season 1 vs. season 2) on the Direct TV being piped into the seatback
\nin front of me. Another in the category of "best thing:" Jet Blue gives away
\nfree wifi in their terminals. So, so sweet of them.<\/p>\n

I have answered most emails, opened what USPS mail had piled up over these
\nfour days (among the booty,
\n
\nJeff’s book<\/a> and also
\n
\nRaul Sanchez’s<\/a>), and then answered a phone call. What’s this? A real
\nestate agent wishes to show the house? At 12:30 p.m.? Today more than ever
\nbefore I am tempted<\/i> to dump the contents of my lugg-age in the middle of
\nthe floor, put on my most tattered sweat clothes, and spread out on the couch
\nfor a snoring, drooling, lag-alleviating nap whose dreams will whisk me to the
\nother side of this house-showing such that I won’t be able to confirm whether or
\nnot, in fact, the torturous episode happened at all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
