  1. October 3, 2001: an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles
    to New York had a passenger named Paul Oliverio
    and a music channel for BOZ SCAGGS.

    Exactly twenty-two days after 9/11,
    I flew 3000 miles to attend a class reunion
    and my nerves were on end the entire flight.

    The same thing was probably true
    for all other passengers
    BUT Oliverio buried his ears
    in Out Of The Blues
    and I buried my tongue
    in Airline shots of Scotch

    Outwardly, my behavior appeared normal
    but inwardly...any fear of a 9/11 sequel
    was dead meat

    HOWEVER, Upon landing at JFK Airport
    I led a rousing ovation for the flight crew

    -Oliverio
