Less about in-flight mags...saying goodbye again to Pan Am. I flew Pan Am from Hong Kong to Los Angeles when my family immigrated here in 1969. I remember being given a pair of wings. Oh, how I wish I'd kept those!

I enjoy traveling but these days with all the fees they tack on and the maneuvers you need to make just to get a seat (it makes no sense how they price up the seats either) - well, I'm nostalgic for that barely remembered Pan Am flight.

I used to buy the weirdest stuff out of Hemispheres magazine before there was Amazon. Now I can buy weird stuff I never even knew existed. I did reserve a copy of the last edition of Hemispheres.

Maybe one day it will be a relic my kids can use to pay for their grandkids' college educations, along with our old baseball cards and Thomas the Tank Engine complete track set. For now, it will be filed somewhere between our Thurman Munson plane crash newspaper and my late mother in law's secret ribs recipe.
