- You know you’re in a cool group of folks when you mention that you’re stuck on a rather esoteric subject in a project and someone goes “Oh, yeah, check out <INSERT BOOK TITLE HERE>. If it doesn’t have what you’re looking for, let me know. I know a guy.”
- Another sign is the presence of not only a plushy manatee, but also a life-sized plushy lemur, at the party.
- You learn things when you spend time with your tribe. This weekend, I learned that I really like Irish whiskey. Irish whiskey, on the other hand, wants me to die horribly.
- I need to sit down with a paper map and plot out the routing for my flights to and from Texas this past weekend.
- I’ll have to make an unbroken salt circle around the map first. I’m pretty sure that I’ll summon something rather sticky and irritated when I finish drawing that particular shape.
- I was 2 for 4 in the “Screaming Baby on an Airplane” game this weekend.
- One waited until we were almost at the gate to deplane before losing his mind. Not perfect, but nearly so.
- The other one started whining when the engines fired up, cried as we took off, then screamed from Denver to Louisville. Everyone was, or tried to be gracious, about the situation. I was amazed at this infant’s stamina. He’s got a career as a marathon runner who does opera in his spare time.
- Folks, if you’re going to fly a low-cost airline in this day and age, please be sparing in your use of perfume, cologne, and fermented fish sauce during your morning cleansing rituals. Just because we’re crammed in like sardines doesn’t mean you have to smell like one.
- I normally tell my children that someone should be slow dancing with them before they can be smelled, but we were almost at the point of cuddling while we sat 6 across on a widebody.
- In the never-ending debate of “WhatABurger versus In-n-Out”, I have to say that when you want a tasty burger served with a side of great service and awesome french fries, you go to WhatABurger. When you want a delicious, sloppy, grease-bomb and a tee-shirt, you go to In-n-Out.
