Where Art Thou, Aunt Flo?

I’ve been waiting for Aunt Flo. Waiting all month for her visit, in fact. I feel something like the characters in Waiting for Godot. I am waiting for something to happen to relieve me from the limbo in which I exist. At the same time, I’m afraid of what might happen as I leave this [...]


Oh, Now That Makes A Lot of Sense…NOT

After the whole brouhaha with Fat Mona/Ramona, I decided to contact the FAA to find out the actual regulations about noise-canceling headset use during takeoff and landing. Here’s the dialogue: Me: I wear noise canceling headsets during my frequent airplane travel. I turn the noise canceling feature off during takeoff and landing. Recently, however, I [...]
