We did a weeklong WordMaster For Life series on airline travel and time change from May 24-27, 2004. The series was called “Time Travel”. You might want to take a look at it, as we're treating a similar theme in @Work this week. Go to the “WordMaster For Life” top page and use the Search-By-Date (更新日から探す) engine at the bottom!
