More on Buffett

There is a real carnival feeling at the pre-concert tailgating. Lots of people dressed up in costumes. Leis, grass skirts, coconut bras, and funny hats. These are just a few of my favorite characters.

A Sad Day

I just found out that a friend died on Monday, apparently of natural causes. I'd never met him. He was an online friend. A good one. And a good man, full of fun and full of life. That is how I'll remember him. Quick with a joke, insightful, and above all else, kind.

I'll raise a glass to him tonight. I think he'd like that.

My condolences to all his other friends, and to his family. He will be greatly missed.

Too Sexy for My Plane

When I read this story I was shocked. Southwest Airlines almost threw her off a plane because she was dressed "too provocative" for their "family airline." Of course, there is no dress code for the airline. Someone complained and the male flight attendant just decided to tell her she couldn't fly in that outfit. He eventually said it was OK if she pulled the top of her sweater together and pulled down her skirt as far as she could. She was humiliated.

If that is the case then no college student in Boston should be able to fly.

What do you think? Too sexy to fly?

Jimmy Buffett

Yes, I went to my first Jimmy Buffett concert on Saturday night. It was so much fun I could hardly stand it. I think I liked the tailgating as much or more than the actual concert.

The picture is the two hot babes I went with, and me. R, on the left, was also a Buffett virgin. M, in the middle, has been before and has it all down to a science. She supplied the leis, and even brought blueberry vodka, which I wasted no time enjoying.

More on the concert to come.

Free Food in the Conference Room!

Why is that when food is free we have to have some? When there are clients in, and there is leftover lunch, why do we become starving orphans who MUST storm the conference room and have the leftover pizza and pasta salad? Even if we just ate our own lunch?

Even if we ordinarily don't eat potato chips, or cookies, or whatever, if it is free we scarf it up like starving dogs.

Or is it just me?
