My flight from LA to Kathmandu several years ago was shorter. Needless to say I&#8217;m a little shellshocked and having difficulty typing. The only good in this experience, during which we were never allowed to get off the plane, is that I got through the 400+ pp of Michael Connelly&#8217;s The Narrows. (excellent!).]]>Thu, 12 Aug 2004 06:12:42 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L. Simon]]>https://pjmedia.com/roger-l-simon/2004/08/12/the-voyage-from-hell-n204271
