A few random Sunday things...

If you're looking for an excellent (albeit lengthy) read, might I recommend this? It's the story of the man who won the U.S. Open golf championship earlier this year, as unlikely a winner of the country's biggest golf tournament as you will find.

I hadn't flown to San Francisco for a few years and had thus forgotten what it's like to open the window shade moments before landing, only to see nothing but water below the plane. Quite unsettling.

And finally, when flying across the country, if the person using the bathroom before you does something that requires four flushes, it's probably a good idea to walk away and tend to your bathroom needs at a later time.
