missed connections

Kaki King's, "Bowen Island" is an instrumental played on a somewhat altered guitar. A thin piece of wood acting as a bridge/nut is placed on the 16th fret. It kind of gives her two guitars that sound like Japanese koto. The song is very relaxing and meditative. At 7:45 AM it lulls me in and out of sleep at the same time the wheels on the Airbus A320-200 heading to Columbus Ohio on which I am supposed to be are disappearing into the underbelly of the aircraft. I will not realize this for about another hour.

I could have sworn the itinerary said Monday, the 20th.

It couldn't miss.  The plan was sure fire.  Really, nothing could go wrong.  All it required was, at the very least, a partially functioning prefrontal cortex.
