The joys of having friends you travel with is that you are working on a deal to use a $50 companion fare and are looking at Oakland first class for $260 a person, and then realize you can go coach to Hawaii with the outside possibility of upgrading for the same amount. Goodbye Oakland, hello [...]

So, I found this because I clipped an article from Wired Magazine: http://www.pottube.com/watch/dfaecdc212708f721b78/How-to-roll-a-lego-joint I couldn’t get the damn thing to embed. And from the same article, what if your member becomes erect on passover — is that like leavened bread rising? Lots of billable hours today. Raf was working in the yard for most of [...]

Back in the air for me, again. Up at 8:30, out the door to the airport at 10am. Bummer — pulling into the airport I get a text message from Alaska Airlines — your flight has been delayed by 45 minutes (which turned into a little over an hour). Had they sent it a half [...]

Today’s adventure is a trip to Santa Cruz for Santa Cruz Gay Pride. It’s funny that last summer on a mileage run I ended up at Arcata’s Gay Pride — not that I planned for it, I just happened to hit the right weekend. Left the house at 10, got to pride around noon with [...]

Up at 8am, out of the house and headed for the airport at 9:30. Through security by 10 and headed for the Board Room for breakfast. Once again — I have an Alaska flight leaving from the North Terminal. It says a lot about the fortunes of Alaska Airlines and United Airlines… the North Terminal [...]

Nothing like starting the day out with an alarm clock. I love Swanda’s comment — I hate meetings that run over an hour. Here, here. The upside is that it does allow for more things to be done during the day. After the meeting it was off to the bank to put my paycheck in, [...]

Well, the standard marketing meeting every Thursday has been cancelled. Or rather, postponed until tomorrow. At 8:30am. Didn’t I just do a post on early morning stuff. Is it karma? Spent the day billing hour, running errands, and generally getting my life ready to leave town again on Saturday for the Bay Area. Looks like [...]

I HATE GETTING UP EARLY. There, I said it — like you all didn’t know that. It just screws up my sleep schedule and makes me cranky. Example: Up at 5am with a wake-up call 5:30 downstairs shit/shaved/showered for breakfast 6am shuttle ride to the airport 6:45am Continental President’s Club having a Cape Cod or [...]

What’s that phrase…. not the day that I was expecting. Dan and Lisa were off with his mother for breakfast — I passed, I wanted to sleep in since I was expecting a long day, and an early morning on Wednesday flying back to Seattle. Breakfast basically sucks here at the Ramada Airport Denver. I [...]

Out of bed at a little after 8 so I could get some breakfast in me before they stopped serving — at 9:30 it turns out. Dan, Lisa and George show up at 10:30 for our trip to the DAM, the library, and maybe the mint. Oh the plans of people sightseeing on a Monday. [...]
