Prepare for Landing

I'm supposed to be staying in Virginia for roughly six months. Time to myself, visit my parents, take a breather. I've had a lot of time to think on planes recently and while flying to Richmond I counted how many times I've flown these past few years. I know that this year I've flown the most in my life but here's a breakdown.
August 2004-3

June 2005-3

September-2

So let's see...I've flown 14 times this year, 8 times the previous year and 3 the time before that. What does that mean? Is this a trend in my life, will each passing year include more and more airborne travel for me? I know these numbers are nothing compared to what some people fly in a month, but it's pretty huge for me. Since I started my cross-continent Odyssey this past summer, I've discovered that I'm a magnet for B-list pop culture figures. Observe--when flying back to Canada through Heathrow, I saw Scottish comedian Billy Connelly. Ok, he's not exactly B-list in the UK but he's not exactly that well known in Canada. Flying back to London, I saw that Canadian blind guitar player, what's his name? Jeff Buckley? Anyway, I saw him. When I flew back to Canada and was in Montreal, I saw David Suzuki. I know I've probably spelled his name wrong but I haven't exactly watched The Nature of Things in a while, if ever. And finally, when going through Chicago's O'Hare Airport a couple of days ago, while trying to find a currency exchange, I saw the lead singer of The Barenaked Ladies sitting on a chair in security, lacing up his boots after having to take them off. "Oh Enid, we never really knew each other anyway." Wow, if you're not Canadian and didn't absorb Gordon in 1993, then that quote was just wasted. I don't particularly know what this means for my future travels. The Barenaked Ladies guy is a little higher up the ladder from David Suzuki, but not much. Does this mean that each successive flight, adventure or sojourn will result in celebrities of higher and more reknowned status? I'll let you know when I'm sitting next to George Clooney in first-class, discussing Darfur and how to solve the problem of increased globalization.
