I work with a guy, lets call him Mike.  Mike travels OFTEN, but always stays comfortably within the borders of the good old USA.  That is about to change!  Mike is going to be going to France.  This will be Mike’s first experience with “real” international travel (because going to Mexico doesn’t count).  Now, if [...]

As I stated in a previous post, I have achieved the glorious distinction of being a 1K Frequent Flyer.  I am currently sitting in the Narita, Japan Star Alliance lounge and wanted to give you an update of the differences between flying as a non-1K member and a 1K member.  There is almost no difference.  [...]

Finally, someone from Hollywood championing something worthwhile.  Mel Brooks is trying to save the word “schmuck.”  Apparently, statistics show that the word “schmuck” was only used 11 times in 2006 by people other than Mel Brooks.  As it turns out, I know about the other 11!  I slowly worked through my interactions with co-workers during [...]

Good News: There is a very good chance that the Hollywood screenwriters will go on strike.
Bad News: Reruns and reality shows will continue to run.
Good News: The American public could get bored with the reruns and stop watching the television.  The results:
~Parents might actually pay attention to their children.
