This woman who was unemployed for three years spent Tuesday night in the Presidential Suite at a 5 star hotel in San Diego. There was a piano in my room for gosh sakes! The theme song from “The Jeffersons” played in my head the entire time . . .

Steerage
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I am having some struggles with USAir. Of course, the use of the word “struggles” implies that they are struggling back which they are certainly not. They are going about their business which apparently is giving people miles…
