Keeping it Together! And The joy of trampolines in Vermont!

Consider this an in-between post. A vacation short missive.

Do you get gas on planes during long flights? And more specifically do you feel the persistent need to fart whenever you’re awake and in flight? My biggest accomplishment this week was holding in gas and protecting my flight neighbors and their nasal passages. My other biggest accomplishment was doing a book signing with the amazing Harriet’s Bookshop in Philly for Juneteenth and then making my train to New York to vote early, then making a flight to Edinburgh and then running to get a connecting flight from Edinburgh to Paris. Just landed so I don’t have anything to report yet other than “I held the fart in!” I wish people talked about gas more—we all have it, right?

Also I went to Vermont last weekend and had a magical time. Ten out of ten recommend going to Vermont in June and staring at trees and mountains and flowers (everything is in bloom there)—peonies galore! If you’re really lucky you’ll stay at a ski slope and jump on a trampoline and wander around a mini golf course and other off season amusements. More to report after this trip!

By the way there’s a funny movie called Bofinger by Steve Martin and co-starring Eddie Murphy whose character is in a cult similar to Scientology and he repeats the mantra “K.I.T. Keep it together, Keep it together, Keep it together.” That is me on these flights.

Have a wonderful weekend!
