This Air Canada plane has those new groovy in seat personal interactive tv’s.  By manipulating the sleek touch screen display, you can choose between a variety of movies, TV channels, games, even a detailed moving map of the flight’s route.  It is definitely a grand way to pass the time on a long flight.  All around me, passengers are flicking through news items, choosing between current Hollywood favorites and classics, deciding to enjoy Friends or the Family Guy.

But not me.  My groovy in seat personal interactive tv is not working.

I have flown form St. John’s to Toronto a zillion times and never once had a GISPITV.  So why then, do I feel so gypped that I don’t have one now?  If my GISPITV were operating, this diary entry would not get done and my Bill Bryson book would go unread, but still I feel left out because I cannot watch the Davinci Code (despite the fact that I’ve already seen it and did not enjoy it).

This makes two diary entries that begin with a complaint.  Am I turning into a grumpy old man? 

On the bright side, it should be a fun night in London as the Western Fair has always been good to us.  The theatre in Thunder Bay has given us fine nights in the past. 

I confess that I have never been to Sioux Lookout.  I have no idea where it is and know nothing about the town what so ever. I don’t know anyone who’s been there or anyone who would hazard a guess about the place.  It’s quite refreshing to have absolutely no preconceived notion about a town that I’m about to see first hand.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Cheers
Alan
