Hello My Positively Positive Airplane Passengers,

Let me be perfectly honest, “I am not a crook!”  (Sorry, I couldn’t help that!)  (Smile)

What I meant to say is that I am not a big fan of flying.  However, I must admit that because of some very informative websites such as Seat Guru.com, the excruciating, mind-melting, and soul-sucking sweatbox that is the security checkpoint,  the hand-wrenching, jaw-clenching, armrest gripping terror of liftoff, and the eye-twitching, foot-jerking, stomach-convulsing agony of landing are becoming kinda’, sorta, hmmm, maybe a little-ittle bit easier to …  Read the rest of this entry »
