I'm back from Indianapolis where I taught a management and supervision class to a very bright bunch indeed. Great questions are the spice of any class and they came through admirably. My schedule was a "fly in one day and fly out the next" and the three hour time difference will turn Friday into a day for coffee and no heavy lifting.
One ancillary item: Most of my business travel over the past few years has been within driving distance in Arizona and it was enlightening to see how far air travel has declined. What once had a certain air of glamour has now become a bus station of the sky; a description that is unfair to bus stations because the buses have better seating. It was also embarrassing to see flight attendants hawking credit cards and selling small bottles of wine.
In Indianapolis, I was chosen for a "random test" by the security people where the Transportation Safety Administration attendant brushed my palms with a wand. A story about the process is here and I confess to missing that when it was published. I was mildly amused by it, if only because when traveling to Britain during the IRA terrorist days, you could take any 50 people and I would be the one selected for intensive screening.
It must be that naturally furtive appearance.
