They’ve Got Me By The Flotation Device
Last year I received an email from USAir indicating they were going to take my 46,637 miles from me as I had not flown with them for eighteen (18) months. In an act of desperation — I EARNED those miles dammit! — I wrote a letter to USAir explaining my…
There Is Right And Then There Is Wrong
When I get up in the morning for work, I get in the shower, dry and “do” my hair, apply some make-up, get dressed and leave the house. During this time, my husband is still in bed, snoring away. I then make my 20+ mile commute, and sometime at about…
Say CHEESE-cake
A plate of mini cheesecakes arrived in our working office at the hotel we are having our meeting at. I wish I could express to you how happy this made me. Perhaps by blogging about it I have.
A Civil Hug
I am spending today in a hotel lobby, greeting guests as they arrive for the meeting I am managing this week. This a busy hotel, located downtown in a major U.S. city. Families are here on vacation and there are also business people everywhere, checking in, checking out, passing through…
Mile High Book Club
So the guy on the plane next to me this morning was reading a book called “Winners Never Cheat”. What he should have been reading, in my opinion, is “Nice People Are Pleasant” or something along those lines. I’m talking to you Grumpy McGrumpstein.

Not even brand new luggage — still in the box — can entice me or provoke me to want to pack. The evil spell cast on me by the powers that be is the love of travel and the aversion to packing. Things could be worse I suppose. Snow White,…
All In All, It’s Just Another Hit From The Wall
I have hit the wall in a big way. You know the wall, don’t you? You come in in the morning and even before you have put your stuff down (coffee, purse, laptop bag, keys, sunglasses) there’s a crisis that needs your attention. And basically, you don’t stop for the…
MILEstone
Tomorrow I will receive my six month “probationary” review at my company. 6 months, 26,000 miles, 14 flights,6 states, 6 site visits,4 meetings,2 countries,1 lost bag and6 paychecks (we get paid once a month). Can you guess which one is my favorite? Better the bag get lost than the paychecks…
No Horses Or Ponies Were Harmed In The Writing Of This Blog
They say when you fall off a horse you should get right back up on it. I haven’t fallen off any horses, but I have fallen off the blog writing pony. I have no excuse other than a crazy travel schedule for my job. Ironic that this blog started out…
