Blogging from 35,000 Feet!

This blog has been around awhile.  I've had my seasons of posting a lot... and other seasons of posting, well, basically nothing for months at a time.  I've had posts discussing airplanes and air travel, but never have I actually posted from in the air.  But today, for the first time ever, thanks to the wonders of Gogo Inflight Internet (via Delta Airlines, and free access code courtesy of FedEx Office), I am actually connected live, to the internet, from 35,000 feet (+/- a few thousand feet -- I haven't' been listening to the captain's announcements, as I've got my headphones cranked listening to Adam Again's "Homeboys/Dig" compilation).

I'm in transit from Atlanta, GA (ATL) to Hartford, CT (BDL) for the week on business.  I've been up since 4:15 AM, but I'm feeling pretty good so far today -- a free upgrade to 1st Class on the ATL-BDL leg of the journey certainly doesn't hurt.  One thing about early morning flights and tight connections, however, is that by, oh, say right about now, one starts to get rather hungry.  Don't get me wrong -- the "Perfect Oatmeal" from Starbucks at 5:45 AM was pretty good, but that was already 4+ hours ago.  I'm looking forward to lunch.  And sleep.  Yes, I'm pretty sure I'll sleep well tonight after ~4.5 hours of sleep last night.  Why then, you might ask, am I sitting here blogging instead of sleeping?  Well, the bottom line is that it's easier for me to get online while sitting in an airplane than it is for me to fall asleep in one...

So, anyway, I better click "Submit Post" before the flight attendant tells me it's time to turn off all portable electronic devices, otherwise I won't be able to truthfully claim that I blogged while in flight.  Not that you'd ever really know, of course...
