TURNING POINT: SPEAKING TO THE CAPTAIN

After working with you I had minimal preflight anxiety before flying from Boston back to San Francisco on October 14. It was the easiest flight I have ever taken in that respect.

Prior to the flight to Boston I had as much or more anxiety as I have ever experienced. It was just as you said. Until I knew the techniques worked my mind played every trick in the book. Once I spoke to the pilot and completed the take-off I was fine as I have ever been.

On the way back I did not even need to see the pilot. There was also non of the mental craziness about the return flight that ordinarily would haunt me during my entire time away from home. I actually enjoyed my vacation. Thank you for everything to this point.

I don’t expect to have those problems again, and if I do I doubt they will be nearly as intense and therefore manageable.

DO YOU ALSO WORRY ABOUT GERMS?

According to a New York Times article by Mary Roach, a germ-free home is is largely pointless.

In a study at the Columbia School of Nursing 224 households were randomly assigned to two groups. One group used antibacterial cleaning, laundry and hand-washing products. The other used ordinary products.

For 48 weeks, the groups were monitored for seven symptoms
of colds, flu and food poisoning - and found to be
essentially the same.
