Can't stay home

In the empty spot at the dinner table where Stefano Poma should be sitting, a smiling father's face beams from a laptop screen.
A four-day trip from Stockholm, Sweden, to Milan, Italy, has swelled to nine days and counting because of the volcanic ash drifting across Europe from Iceland. The family set up a video-chat terminal at the table to tide the kids over until Poma can make the more than 1,000-mile bus ride home.
Through the rectangular display, Dad read books to the kids as they held up their plates of pasta to show what they were eating on camera.
"It's amazing what you can do today," says Michele Anenberg-Poma. "We thought, 'Take that, volcano.' "
