This just in from a JetBlue newsletter, notifying us of a slight change:

Bring your own headset
Effective June 1, free headsets will no longer be available on JetBlue flights. This benefits the environment by reducing unnecessary waste and it benefits your ears by providing the best sound and inflight entertainment experience.

Kinda like the way the elimination of free airline food benefits my stomach by providing me with my own sandwich.

Where it all began. The apartment in which I was conceived. 1638 Anapuni Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, in the Makiki section of town. Still painted a horrendous mauve taupe. Second floor there. End unit.

I know exactly what you’re asking, and it’s a good question. It’s been a long time, nearly forty years now. But if my memory serves me correctly, I think it was, you know, hanging over the balcony rail.
