I am writing this on a Boeing 767 somewhere over the Atlantic on my way to Switzerland, where my wife and I are moving to be close to her family. We are flying at 523 miles per hour at 37,000 feet above sea level. According to my ticket, it will take us 8 hours and 10 minutes to travel the 3,800 miles between JFK and Geneva. We have made this trip a dozen times. My wife hates it. If she had realized how often she would have to fly when I proposed to her 30 years ago, I think she might have turned me down.
