uuugggghhhhh
At the time of this post, the plane still hasn't pulled away from the gate. Departure time was to be at 1:10 . Uh, that's not working out to well. The captain said we were waiting on some 'routine maintenance paperwork.'
I hope somebody initials a form very soon. I've already got Tired Butt.
Weve got . . .
. . . A very tall, bald, and black man as our flight attendant. And there is no sign of gayness.
And the seat next to me is still empty with take off in seven minutes. Triple good times.
I'm on a plane ....
... But I don't see any snakes.
Nor have I seen anyone famous. The flight is said to be full but so far the seat next to me is empty. I suspect it will be occupied by a 300 pound man any moment.
Cell phone blog?
I'm not sure this will work but my computer battery crapped out. And thses two people are hogging the only outlet in this place.
I found a turkey sandwich and a guy who got all pissy about the clerk putting too much ice in his drink. Good times.
From A Terminal At DFW
- WiFi access is nerdy, but cool.
- Security is a breeze (seems better than ever)
- I still feel stupid taking off my shoes and belt and walking a few feet
- What's a man gotta do to find a chicken sandwich in this place?
- People in the next gate over are going to LaGuardia in New York. Sounds cool.
- There's a 50 year old lady that looks 60 sleeping in a "massage recliner" in front of me. She's supposed to put in $5.00 but I think she just commandeered it free of charge.
- I was able to access my desktop computer in my office via gotomypc.com (I subscribe). That's very cool. But I'm locked out of my database and my (normally wonderful) secretary won't answer my email.
Football Weekend Trip
Those that know me understand that every so often I run off for the weekend for a "football trip". This is one of those weekends.
I leave this afternoon to catch a University of Florida football game in the "The Swamp" (pictured) on Saturday and then the Jacksonville-Dallas game on Sunday. I'm taking technology and cameras with me so I'll try to keep you updated along the way. (Even with an experimental cell phone blog.)
My very first trip was documented here. And some will remember my post game auto accident in Tennessee from last year.
And....I'm flying back on Monday, 9/11. I won't let the terrorists win.

Maybe A First For Me
I pride myself on not being easily offended, but the current AT&T/Yahoo commercial bothers me. The word "offended" is probably too strong. Perhaps "uncomfortable" is more appropriate.
The set-up: A couple in bed receives a middle of the night phone call. The husband answers as his wife looks over his shoulder. The guy expresses incredible concern, and says something along the lines of "are you sure?" and "is it him?"
The punch line: He then he gets up to confirm that an NFL player on his fantasy football team is injured.
I uploaded the commercial at youtube here. [Link will come online momentarily.] Yeah, it serves it purpose by getting people (or me, at least) to talk about it.
Momma Says Knock You Out
You've probably seen the video of the reporter getting a can of whoop arse being put on him. Youtube.com has it now.
Becky Oliver, beware.
Back To Life
I've had a couple of people send me this pic. I don't know if it's real.
I was in Jacksboro all morning begging the AG's office not to throw my court-appointed-father-very-late-on-child-support client in the hoosegow. I was successful, for now. It sure didn't feel like a Law and Order episode.
