Now is the time in my web page when i Perplect.  

Apparently i am a freak.  Don't tell anyone.  Below is an excerpt from a conversation i had about my flight to Calgary on Friday.  Somehow, i have been told, this makes me a freak.  whadda ya know, maybe i am. 

"So on my flight on Friday. It was late, and hour and a half. They told us it was delayed because of MECHANICAL difficulties. Not a problem. i get on the plane. 
We are just coming out of the mountains when they come on and warn of a little turbulence. So pretty soon we are in the turbulence. it is by far the worst i have ever had. I counted 6 separate times that the plane dropped so suddenly that there was weightlessness.  When i looked out at the wings i could see them waving up and down like the ends of a long noodle. They were moving at least a meter up and down. I was reading my book and just had to stop and watch the wings and enjoy the ride. 
The cabin had got very quiet. it was great. as i was doing this, i remembered the mech. difficulties and started to think very seriously about the end. Well as seriously as i am capable. i mean...not totally unlikely.  As i was thinking about it, the only thing i could think about doing, was when they said, 'put your head between your knees,' i would do that.  But i would be sitting there with my head there, and i would be smiling. and i would only be able to think, 'this is so cool, i am about to die in a plane crash.' or not die, either way, a totally new and different situation to live through. i love that about me. 
And then the turbulence ended.  The captain came on and said that we were through the turbulence as if it was nothing. i went back to reading my book. not even an elevated heart rate. i had been amused, but not excited. incredibly amused by the fact that the only thing i could think about death was that it would be cool. truth, that is all i could think."
