I'm just sayin'........

We are on Day 1 of a cold snap, that is pretty much affecting the entire country. Right now in Boston its 16 degrees and the windchill (what it feels like) -1 degree!! I have only one thing to say about that, " Gross!!"

A reason to keep HOPE!

A man was pulled from rubble in Haiti's capital on Tuesday, two weeks after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake leveled much of the city, officials said. Ricot Duprevil, 31, was in stable condition at a medical facility where he was being treated for a broken leg, medical and rescue officials told CNN. Duprevil had access to water while he was trapped, the officials said. The man was discovered by the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division's Delta Company during a rubble-clearing mission in downtown Port-au-Prince.

Thanks Connor!!

These handmade scarves showed up today in the mail. My little brother made them for me and Dustin. So I just wanted to thank him and show him how dapper we look in them!! Thanks again Connor!!

In an epic upset MA voters elect a Scott Brown a republican to the senate. We've been democrate for 30 years. Now what's going to happen to health care reform and the prez agenda?

Another Snowy day in NE.

Just another typical winter day in Boston.

How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Dear American Airlines,
On December 9th I was on flight 1527 from Boston to Chicago. I found the flight attendants to be extremely impressive. I had a slight medical issue and it was handled exceptionally well by the flight attendants, Ryan Perry and Maura Gahan. They offered me assistance with compassion and a caring attitude that was much appreciated. According to my physician their actions were very appropriate for my situation. I have never had a medical problem like that on a fight, and am sincerely grateful for service, rendered above and beyond, by Mr. Perry and Ms. Gahan. Because of their actions, I was able to recover without further deterioration and continue my trip. Please know that they made a major difference to me and I was significantly impressed by their response without hesitation. Any organization would be proud to have professionals of this caliber representing then in a stressful situation. If there is anyway they can be formally recognized for their outstanding performance. I hope you will make this effort.Thank you for fostering and attitude of customer service and professionalism at American Airlines. I will continue to be a loyal customer.

MLK Day

Thanks for leading the way!

A few Days off.

I am so excited to have the next couple days off. I have worked 16 out of the past 18 days. I am so looking forward to staying up late and sleeping in till 10!! I'm off till Friday, WAHOO!!

Why does this have to happen?

This IS......American Idol!

Are you ready for a new season of American Idol? The 2 hour season premier starts tonight. What are your feelings about Ellen as the new judge or Simon's last season? I have to tell you the new show Simon is starting in 2011 "X factor" is SO much better than Idol. This will be a welcome change.

The eagle has landed. The eagle has landed. Rebecca has finally made it home from India safe and sound. Del-hkg-nrt-jfk-stl-dfw-pdx. Wow. All I can say!!

Leaving about 30 mins late but we are on our way home. See you soon!!

Rebecca and I just landed in dfw. One more leg and I will have personally brought her home!

Becca is on the plane with me from stl to dfw. Hang in there becca. Just 2 more flights.

Rebecca is with me now!! We have to get up in 5 hrs, but she is here safe and sound. Btw, can u believe her suitcase is here with her. Can't wait to hear all the stories.

She was close but no cigar. She did not make the pdx flight. She is now on the way to stl and will spend the night with me, then I will fly her to pdx tomorrow. We arrive at 1140 am.

Rebecca has landed on US soil. It's now it's a race to see if she can clear customs and make the Portland flight at 725 pm. It's like the amazing race!!

Okay, here is the latest! Rebecca is on her way to NYC. She did not get on the flight from nrt to dfw so they put her on jfk. Dustin said there is a jfk-pdx flight tonight so we are looking into the loads. Will keep u posted. She at least headed in the right direction. Don't feel too bad she's flying fc on a 777. I haven't even done that.

After spending 14hrs sitting on the plane becca still has not made it to tokoyo. She mentioned they gave her a hotel and food voucher for the night so she is doing pretty good under the circumstances. She gets into TKY too late for the first flight to dfw so she will try the 7pm flight then connect on a 9pm flight to pdx. All on the 9th. I'll keep u posted should I find out anything eles.

Get this one. Rebecca is out of India and in Hong Kong right now. Mom are you jealous??

Don't make the welcome home signs just yet. Due to dense fog in Delhi rebecca's confirmed flight to NRT has been grounded for 11 hrs. Crazy isn't it?? Anyway, she will now attempt to take a afternoon flight out of japan getting her into pdx around 3pm on the 9th. Thank goodness age started all this early and had all these wiggle days. Hopefully the next update will be she's on her way to the mainland!!

Update on becca. So she found a cheap ticket, confirmed space on a del-nrt flight. If all goes well she will Nonrev from nrt-dfw-pdx. I'll keep ya posted.

Bad news. They imposed a weight restriction last minute and left with 18 open seats. Becca did not make it onto the flight. She did call me and told me some nonrevs have been waiting for 4 days to get out of Delhi.

Becca is at the DEL airport. I can see her name on the list. We should know in 2 hrs if she gets on it. At this point, I think it looks pretty good.

Update on becca. I guess the whole exit visa thing was a misunderstanding. She is free to come and go as she likes under her current visa. That's a relief. Flights are still very full out of Delhi. She will still need lots of luck to get out of there.

Keep positive thoughts for becca as she tries to make her way home from India. The flights are so full, I think it will take her a few days. I hope not! U guess she is having some trouble with her exit visa too. She has had to prove she was there on business. Wish her luck. She is going to need it this time.

I'm off to STL this morning. They are under a winter storm warning with 5 inches of snow expected. Keep you fingers crossed we make it out tomorrow!
