About those lame cookies. I read an article a while back saying that airplane food doesn't taste so well mainly because the aircraft's noise messes with our sense of smell and taste ... so next time I had to fly I wore noise-cancelling earphones and whaddayaknow! ... the taste of things improved significantly.
It was just the cookies, the rest of the food was great. After years of flying in USMC crash magnets called helicopters, commercial aircraft noise doesn't register on the senses.

Ah. So you've gone deaf.
Nope, my last hearing test was normal (with typical female voice range reductions for my age) . I learned how to tune out background noise as military communications operator. Your brain can be trained to ignore very high levels of noise while still detecting intelligence (people talking). Mental compatibilization was something we practiced until you could 'hear' signals in one ear, have a conversation with a person with the other ear, while typing the copy.
A A330 at cruise is nothing.

Ok, let me see if I understand. You're working as a roadie (notice the different spelling) for the band you've pictured?

Is one of your kids playing in that band?
Yes, a roadie. I don't have my reading glasses with me and "rodie" seems to get typed when I use swipe entry on my Android. I didn't notice, sorry.

Yes, it's my daughter's R&R tour.

I'm one of the parent chaperones.

Nice! ... wish I could hear them play, though ... what does your daughter play? ... would it be possible for you to share a video link or something?

She's plays bass (her primary skill), keyboard, and she sings.

I'd love to share, but that's not possible here.

All the kids are freakin' brilliant, though.
