I love flying, looking down on the world. Flew to see my sister last weekend. Cool stuff around Philadelphia: bizarre hills, glacier remains, morraines, I think, long long narrow hills that look like offa's dyke or some other ancient, no grassy mound of a wall. they are wooded and in between they are full of farmers' fields, long rectangles, triangles of green & brown, joined by roads that bounce up and down through the hillls.

lots of big old quarries as well, and a golf course under construction, showing its true face, bare ugly brown dirt.

islands off CT look positively yummy, to be in a kayak or outrigger, cruising, doing loops and exploring.
