FIFTEEN WHAT?

A FIFTEEN HOUR FLIGHT??? LA to Hong Kong - what am I going to do for
FIFTEEN HOURS? (Followed by another 5-hour flight). I had avoided looking
at those flight times till now. Got drugs? I've been in the air 10 or 12
hours or so before, which was completely unbearable. Maybe Ralph Fiennes
will be on my flight this time...

So, what exactly DOES one do on a 15 hour flight? I can't sit still at
home for a 2 hour movie at home, and I don't particularly like watching
movies anyway, and I really don't like them on an airplane. I like to
read, but not for 15 hours. I like to eat, but I can't stretch a meal out
for 15 hours. Same with sleeping. I can't do anything for 15 hours
straight! Well... except maybe ride a horse.

Now, maybe that's the way to look at this. Count down the hours as if I
were doing a 100-mile ride. The two hundreds that I've done, I was in the
saddle (counting time off the horse in vet checks as time in the saddle)
for 22 hours, give or take an hour.

Let's compare:
