The kosher meals came early as all special meals do and they looked good.

The Lebanese man on the way over was eating Vegan and he confided to me at

the end of the flight that he wasn't really vegetarian, he just liked getting

his meal first. The vegan meals would not entice me but the Jewish man told me

that kosher means inspected, clean, and sealed; there is also a good variety

but he said kosher is better where there is a large Jewish community. You 

are right about "airplane" life - it is much easier to interact with strangers

but some do see each other again - in Ann Landers today there is the story of

a woman considering marriage to someone she was seated next to on an airplane :).  

 

Great idea—from now on I’m ordering kosher instead of vegetarian meals!

 

On my last trip to Georgia, on the last leg where you have to ride a volkswagon with wings, I was seated next to a woman, and we started talking about why we were flying to Valdosta.  She said her daughter was due to have a baby boy the next day.  I said, “You must be kidding.  My son’s wife is due to have a son tomorrow.”  I was like dejavu all over again.  For a minute there I thought maybe she was my son’s mother-in-law in disguise! To make a long story short, we ended up becoming friends, spending time together there, and now talk on the phone regularly.  I love her!

PS Does reading Ann Landers conflict with walking in the fear of a holy God? (Just kidding!)
