I was shocked - dismayed, appalled - to learn during my current travels that some airlines now charge fees to watch movies during domestic flights. (If you want to buy their headsets, that's an additional charge.) The gall. How am I to pass the time? Meditate? Do my taxes? Talk to my neighbors? Listen to my neighbors??!!
The airlines' stinginess (and my own) may work out to be a blessing in disguise. In an age of 200+ channels and youtube, there remains something uniquely powerful in the written word. The pen is mightier than the remote control.
