Guy in front of me in the security line at the Raleigh airport shows his i.d. to the…what is the title? I.D. checker? She notes that the name on the ticket is not the same as the name on his i.d. Apparently he is… Continue Reading “Who is the Jerk in this Scenario?”
I took a short road trip for work that involved spending a night in Dixon, Illinois. Famous for being “the boyhood home of President Ronald Reagan”. This is one of those places too far away to randomly visit, but close enough that I am… Continue Reading “Dixon, Illinois”
I heard on the radio yesterday morning that there will be 3,000 fewer flights available over the 2008 Thanksgiving Holiday as compared to 2007. Which means that tickets will be more expensive and planes will be jammed. This will be made even worse due… Continue Reading “Thanksgiving Travel”

I am leaving for Florida tonight to visit my grandmother and was reminded of a travel story. At the risk of writing about work: My friend and colleague, Rolland, was a 30 year veteran of my company before he retired. He had worked in… Continue Reading “Depressing Travel Story”
The other day my grandfather called. He was getting ready to leave for Grand Teton (above)and asked if I knew any better tricks to bypass the crowd at O’Hare. I start to explain about the online check-in and baggage drop off and the no-longer-secret… Continue Reading “At Least One of Us Has a Life”
