It has changed for me.

This is a new season that I've entered, which is exciting for me, which is why I wanted to talk about it.

So first, my kids are now a little older.

And then especially the last time I did a big trip like this, right?

Annalie is seven and a half, almost eight.

Noah is almost 10, right?

Like we're moving into this different age where they're a lot more self-sufficient.

They can order their snacks without my help, that kind of thing.

And they mostly entertain themselves.

Second, of course, this has not changed, the white noise of the plane, that droning hum of the engines and the air system drowns out other random noises.

It's perfect.

It's like the brown noise really is what it is.

And third is that I'm not a great plane sleeper.

So while my e-reader, usually when I lay in my bed behind me and I prop up my Kindle every night, three minutes.

That's all the reading time I get.

Like I just don't have invested time where I'm sitting and clicking, clicking, clicking through pages.

But I am just uncomfortable enough on a plane that I finally get into e-reader flow state where I am just blasting through pages.

I read a 600 page book on one flight and it was like, oh, this is the magic.

I didn't have the interruption from the kids.

I got to enjoy the white noise.
