My bold prediction: This lounge will not have many posts this weekend. I am at FLL waiting for SS255 to get in. (We're sharing the rental car)

I'm still home and posting..... well, I didn't get home until 4ish today... ASA was late again, what a surprise.
Is it going to rain tomorrow? Will it be cold? Why isn't the lounge weatherman going to this do? Where is he when I need him?

What is the difference between women aged: 8, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58. 68, and 78 ?
At 8 -- You take her to bed and tell her a story.
At 18 -- You tell her a story and take her to bed.
At 28 -- You don't need to tell her a story to take her to bed.
At 38 -- She tells you a story and takes you to bed.
At 48 -- She tells you a story to avoid going to bed.
At 58 -- You stay in bed to avoid her story.
At 68 -- If you take her to bed, that'll be a story!
At 78 -- What story??? What bed??? Who the hell are you???

I did get to see it this past Tuesday, though. Right on time.
Funny, everyone I know who can do it are the artist type. Even I can manage it if I really un-concentrate on making it happen.

After an all too brief interview with Mikey1003 this weekend, I nominate him to head up a new complaints department. His expertise in his current job as Lounge Curmudgeon has made that position easy for him and frankly, provides very little challenge.
Rest assured, I tried to convince him that talking to himself all the time might get old, but he countered that he's creative enough to keep the job interesting.

Mikey now has an additional title.
But even as a Director and as Chief Lounge Curmudgeon, he still reports to his previous subordinate, Mike Mpls.
As happens so often in life, even here in The Lounge™ a career can head south at any moment.

I think we need to take The Lounge™ to the world, whether the rest of the world is ready for The Lounge™ or not. Perhaps we need another role, maybe BEYFlyer could be the Lounge's Envoy Extraordinaire and Ambassador Plenipotentiary........

Are things really getting that tight down at Rancho Cholula? Has he depleted his miles so much that he must now buy discount tickets and forego First Class forever?????!!!!!!!
I don't know.....
Cholula.
Southwest.
Cholula + Southwest.
It just seems wrong.
