I’m fly­ing from Boston to San Fran­cisco, return­ing from a col­lege gig at SUNY Platts­burgh, which is so far up, up, upstate New York that it’s just a stone’s throw from Mon­treal (you’d have to have a very good arm and/or be throw­ing the stone in a weaker grav­ity field, per­haps that of an asteroid).
