I need an airplane ...

This is one of those days where I really wish I owned my own airplane.

Don't get me wrong - I generally think actually owning your own place is crazy (private planes are one of the most environmentally damaging ways to travel - like carpooling, large planes with lots of people minimize the negative impact), but I have a friend who is having a rough day, and I wish I could just get to him. I suppose imaginary me could settle for having unlimited access to regular airlines. Or enough money to be able to just purchase a ticket. Even if I had to wait until tomorrow, I just wish I could be there.

I know this is the real world (and being insanely rich is not something I want - it would be really bad for someone who tends to be as selfish as I know I can be) and that the average friend has to do what they can from far away, but how 'there' can you be for somebody who is seperated from you by 2,700km?! 

Right now, I certainly have the time to be there. If money were no object, I would be booking flights.

I hate money.
