Broken Jet Set


Back in DC. We flew JetBlue to and from, and they seem to be going out of their way to compensate for all the lousy press last holiday season. Both flights were seamless and on time.

One interesting note. The row behind us had broken TVs. We overheard the flight attendant telling the customers that the flight was full so they couldn't switch seats, but they were welcome to go to the JetBlue counter upon arrival and get a $5 voucher.

Doesn't that seem a little cheap on behalf of the airline? They make a big deal about DirecTV at each seat. If you're denied that service by no fault of your own, shouldn't it be worth more than $5 and the inconvenience of having to go out of your way to collect the $5?

Happy Thanksgiving




Back Monday unless Florida follies prove too entertaining and I feel compelled to share.

Stripped!




Via FishbowlDC, here's today's Doonesbury strip about how hard it is to generate meaty blog content everyday.

Gives me an excuse to post this old Doonesbury strip about "Inside the Blogs:"

Purrfectly Useless Information



I'm one of those cat owners that loves her cat so much that blogging about my cat could very easily spin out of control. And who wants to be that cat blogging lady, really?

But Emmy purred so loudly last night that she woke us up.

I thought it was odd. I thought I should share.

Especially since it's usually her snoring that does the trick.

I'm Thaiming You


We ordered Thai food for dinner the other night, and the time from call to delivery...16 minutes. With that kind of service, where's the incentive to cook?

My signif is convinced we get special treatment because the restaurant recognizes our orders by now, AND he's befriended the delivery guy. He says it's not just that they're fast but that they go out of their way to get to us first. All I know for sure is said friendship produces a ridiculous number of free sodas with every meal.

And even though we live on the edge of their delivery zone, we get our food in 16 minutes. 16. I'm not even sure how that works.

I'll be in the 'hood


Heading to NYC tomorrow to see about a work thing.

Blog amongst yourselves.

Ha!


You offended?

Me neither.
