This past week I took 5 flights in 5 days. I hate flying but it had to be done so I figured it would be a good chance to check out airlines and decide which I liked best. After all, I was flying three different airlines.
The first flight was uneventful. From Oakland to Ontario airport (LA) on Southwest. I had A28 to board, but it did me nothing because I was in conversation with someone at the bar while drinking a bloody mary and was not worried about what seat I would get. Anyway, very uneventful.
So I've been contemplating all day and trying to think of ways to make me feel better and decided why not write it out and tell a story. why the hell not.. I haven't blogged in awhile :-)

Let me back up real quick...

Lou Piniella had a message this morning and said it again today when interviewed after the Cubs won the NL Central with a win against the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field. He simply said to remain calm, to not focus on the past and the heartbreaks, but this 2008 team that just won the division. And to remind us there is a long road ahead but just let this team play baseball.
I was joking today with a female co-worker about how men have PMS and sometimes even worse than women! She laughed but I got to thinking, but it's really true! I used to date this guy and his mood would always go up and down right around the full moon. I wouldn't even have to check a paper. His mood would go sour, and I knew the moon was bright and full in the night sky. He isn't the only one either. I've known many guys who are normally happy and upbeat who turn into non-social, depressed and quiet. It's almost always monthly but I've seen even weekly and daily - although dai
