What I would've said...


SO...I started this awhile ago and haven't utilized the forum. Things that I'd like to shout out my car window - or bellow at a passerby on the sidewalk... OR in this case to the seersuckered, fedora'd young douche at Pavilions...

HEY DOOFUS - unless you were chemically impaired - the fact that you stood DIRECTLY in front of me - without acknowledging me - at the nut kiosk - WHAT THE HELL!? It's a small selection of nuts and trail mix. It's a narrow aisle. I KNOW I'm hard to miss. Are you REALLY that rude and self absorbed?!

It's one thing if you snuck in and grabbed a bag of nuts and left... It's entirely ANOTHER thing if you park in front of me and just shop. Peruse. Take your time. Really. Sorry. I have to say - you are an asshole.

Ahhhh...that's better. I think I'll post this in another public forum as well... Because I'm still just that frosted.

Again - this will be my forum for the occasional outburst!

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.
