OK I admit it. I have every phobia in the world. One of those is flying, and on Saturday I will climb aboard a Delta flight to New Orleans. The thing about phobias is that you sit in your safe office and reflect on how stupid they are. The mind laughs at them. The stomach dreads them and the rest of your body bleaches white at the thought of a phobia-producing event.

I used to not mind flying. I drank coffee, looked out the window and generally marveled at how smoothly something that heavy got off the ground. I am not sure when flying entered my growing list of phobias. I flew back from a New Year's eve trip to New Orleans a few years ago (are you getting the message that I really like the Big Easy?)
