Flying challenges

I'm back in New York for the week. My flight from Chicago to NYC was on a B717-200.  Seats on that plane  reclined by pushing the seat forward at the same time as the back tilted.  This made my seating situation even worse since my knees were already  buried into the seat back in front of me.  So I didn't get any sleep at all in the flight from Chicago to NYC.
It was cool on the plane with cool air circulating behind the overhead bins, so I grabbed one of those thin blankets sealed in a plastic bag. It was a very thin blanket and very static filled. One handed opening  the folds was a complete miss. Finally got it in quarters so at least it would cover my upper body. Getting it over both shoulders and keeping it there was damned difficult with one good hand. Then when drinks came by and I had to move my arm the blanket completely slid off. We got in very late so I'll be lucky to get 6 hours of sleep. But then Morgan Stanley has wonderful free coffee, so I'm good.
