Los Angeles International Airport was not on my itinerary for my recent, return trip to Hawaii.
That is, until my scheduled flight yesterday from Dallas to Honolulu was canceled due to mechanical difficulties.
I sat in the Dallas Fort Worth another 13 hours until I could get a flight into Los Angeles, where one of the few flights with any openings into Hawaii was available.
On my rescheduled flight from LAX this morning to Kona, Hawaii, I sat next to Bryan Hayes, a personable and forthright, young businessman from Fort Worth via Salt Lake City. Across from Bryan was Alan Felsenthal, a poet from NYC who discussed philosophy with us. I learned the foundations of phenomenology and several titles I will be investigating further. They are Gilead by Marilyn Hutchisons and The Banality of Evil by Hannah Arendt. It was a nice flight and it is great to be back home for a bit!
