London calling!  About an hour before I take departures now, with weather looking good (touch wood) and flights operating on time.  I find myself understanding now why people took Concorde and why the 777's faster cruise and longer range pay off; if I had the discretionary capitol I'd be travelling BA's direct TPA-LGW service, but instead it's north on Airbus to Detroit, then east aboard everyone's favorite three-headed monster, the DC-10.  Bring on the silly center bogey with just two tires...I don't even care, because I am going flying.
