sigh... Exhausting.
Thanks Chris Plaskett!

remembrance... just a moment
I remember trying out for Up with People. I know. I know. There was a dreadful song we had to sing entitled "Freedom isn't Free..." It was a hackneyed anthem - as loathsome as if it were penned by a greedy military contractor. I am, however, reminded of some of the sentiment as I think about tomorrow and wanted to encourage you to take a moment tomorrow and think about those who have sacrificed so much for this country.
So - tomorrow - at 3 PM, your local time [Monday, May 25, 2009], I encourage you to join me and millions of your fellow Americans in a moment of silence to remember those who've fallen to war and those who still struggle to overcome the effects of it.
Just a moment. Just a thought.

Service with a shrug©
Really Delta? Really?
Quelle drag... I've wearily grown accustomed to far-away call centers with heavily accented "service" agents named Howard or Tammy [Howard? Tammy?].
I don't mind the lack of pillows and hot food.
I can handle mergers and acquisitions.
But - when I'm trying to be brand loyal and am purchasing a ticket for a friend and want to add my Skymiles number only to be told [Tracy times because I couldn't understand him] that I don't get credit for my purchase - but that the passenger could put in their Skymiles number and then for $30 and a penny or nickel or ten cents per mile [I quit listening at this point] could transfer the miles to me - I had had it.
I really want the mainline legacy airlines to succeed - but - archaic, convoluted processes and practices that are unflinchingly unfriendly discourage me.
We love to fly and it shows?! Really?

Don't Stop Believin'...
I'm not prone to gushing. Well - Ok I am.
However - I don't throw the "holy craps" around willy-nilly.
HOLY CRAP!
GLEE is amazing.
WATCH and love!
The big tease is that it launches this fall... SO - stay tuned. I hesitate to be so effusive since every show I seem to like gets canceled [Pushing Daisies, Samantha Who? Eli Stone...] - but, this and Better Off Ted are the best things to happen since - well - the parenthetically mentioned programs!

Land of the free and the home of tacky family portraits...
Did we invent this horrendous genre?
It is simply hilarious -
LOOK!
A Southern high school couple, perhaps?
