Airplane Dilemma
Wednesday, 25 April 2007 1:56 A GMT-06
My friend and I flew last Friday from Brisbane, Australia to San Francisco. Barring one short layover, the flight is about 15 hours long. And, in answer to the question I tend to get quite a bit, No. The seats are not bigger on these trans-Pacific fl

Does anyone else go through the springtime ritual of wanting to chop off as much of their hair as possible? It seems like this is as much of a rite of spring for me as anything else. In the wintertime I don't mind having longer hair.&
