Service with a shrug© BOO SPIRIT AIRLINES

More like service with "the finger."

Charging for CARRY-ON bags?!  UP TO $45?!?!   http://money.cnn.com/2010/04/06/news/companies/spirit_airlines_carry-on_fee/  
 
Not only did their site not load on my Mac for years - but they also don't go anywhere I want/need to...AND - they're not all that cheap from the research I did on their site (which now loads).  In addition - $3 for a Diet Coke or water is absurd.

I don't know.  I guess we need one airline that's like a bus.   I just don't.  And - the comment I heard from an airline exec: "Bring less.  Pay less."  Just seemed, well, crass.

How does one celebrate a great month?

Well...
A dozen oysters (kumamoto and Fanny Flagg or Dolly May or happy Fran or something) and a glass of rosé at your favorite neighborhood boite.
I LOVE COMME CA!

Sort of my Cheers - but with foie gras and a gifted fromager and gracious staff! LOL!

One whole month at my amazing new firm... working with an amazing client and amazing colleagues.

Cheers!

Welcome to Lublin, Poland... You're free to use your electronic devices anywhere in the iPort

Seriously.

Did Apple design this amazing airport to be?



This Eastern Polish city, Poland's ninth largest - I believe, is getting one amazing iPort.



Seriously. Neat.

TGI-feelin good-F!

"Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good"



I have to repeat myself here [this was from an earlier post] as my second week of my new life comes to a close...

Great conversation and work with a team from all over North America convened here in Hollywood... Great food at Street, Comme Ca, Mercantile... Swank drinks at the W Hollywood... A great couple of work weeks in LA... [more on my personal adventures to come.]

I'm embraced by a complete sense of well-being and joy. How cool.

And...I'm, indeed, feeling good.

Coffee Golightly...

YAY! Found my new fave local coffee spot near the office. Office? New? Yep. I have a new position and am thrilled to be a patron of Cafe Audrey!



What a cool spot! And on the way to work I walked over Dorothy Dandridge, Doris Day, Liberace, Anne Baxter and Betty White - to name a few.

Too cool.
