I've just printed my boarding pass for tomorrow night's flight to Copenhagen, so I think I'm in good shape. The flight is 8 hours and 15 minutes flying time. When I arrive in Copenhagen I will report on the special "Economy Comfort" seat I paid for.
Today's flights (Tucson-Atlanta-LaGuardia) were crowded to the rafters--I am continually amazed at what people try to squeeze into the overhead compartments, fully abetted by airline employees--but I managed to get here without too much bruising (ego or otherwise). My suitcase weighed only 40 pounds, so I've got room to gain 10 pounds more as I travel!
I'm spending tonight at my cousin Helen's in Manhattan and am happy to report she continues to progress nicely from her surgery. It was only 82 degrees today--a whole lot more pleasant than the 105 when I was here last week.
The next entry will be from Copenhagen.

Thursday Evening 10pm: New York City
__03.jpg)
At home in Tucson, AZ, since 2005, I live with my partner of over 47 years--and husband of six years--Will Feathers. I grew up in New York City (1947-67), earned my BA from CUNY in 1967 and my PhD in English from Indiana University/ Bloomington in 1974. I served on the full-time faculty of the English Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, from 1971 to 2004 (33 years), when I accepted an offer for early retirement. Last year (April 2022), we sold our house and moved into an Independent Living Senior Retirement Community in Tucson, where we have made many new friends.
