In the air

Flying home from Connecticut, chasing daylight all the way, with a stop to change planes in Detroit, over flatland and the snow-capped Sierras in Nevada, the sunset over San Francisco, and enjoying Delta's first-class meal of grilled chicken with corn and roasted potatoes, and dessert of tiramisu.

Stop at Rubiner's
