Yesterday was a big day. I was nervous because after 17 years, I was flying to London to ask my bosses to take some time off. The office is not a university where sabbaticals are the norm. This is akin to taking a year off from playing in the NFL. Pessimists might say it’s like going to the prison warden and asking to live outside the walls for nine months. But the bosses were sympathetic and granted the wish so I have 9 months off, starting in June and ending in March.
The drawing was of my view from my seat on the flight home. Virgin Atlantic really works hard on the cool factor in their service. I actually started chatting with the couple and it tuns out they are visiting NY for fashion week. Both are B list movie stars. Actually they could be A list – I just don’t know them. [UPDATE: He is Sam Claflin from the Hunger Games and she is Laura Haddock from UK TV shows. You make the call, A list or B list.]
And since my drawing skills are not great, even their moms would not recognize them. You may wonder why they are facing each other? The reason is she is sitting on his foot rest which is part of the mechanism for converting the chair into a flat bed. She did return to her proper seat later.
