on the tarmac at Glasgow Airport
Hmm, given the recent grounding and security alerts, perhaps Wings' With a Little Luck isn't the most tactful choice of pre-flight music.

later, en route to Columbus, OH
Normally, plane transfers in the US are my idea of hell. So let me say a few words in favour of the excellent Terminal C in Newark. The building is spacious; the shops are great; there's no irritating muzak, just peace and quiet; the staff seem to enjoy being there (I was directed to the appropriate X-ray machine in song!), and there's even a view of the Manhattan skyline. I was so relaxed, I nearly missed my connection.
