Modern Major-General

Yesterday I was on an airplane only to discover that Delta is now offering internet access in-flight! Apparently, this is still a new initiative, so I was able to connect free of charge.

After a few moments, it hit me - I am flying in the air - updating my facebook status - sending email - snacking on pretzels. I had the urge to spontaneously burst into song and dance. Hand-springs down the aisle, then crowd surfacing from Coach to First Class all the while singing like I was in a Rogers & Hammerstein classic production. Somehow, I think it would turn out more humorously absurd like Gilbert & Sullivan.

No one else on board seemed quite as impressed - but then again, half of my excitement came from the pretzels alone.
