I fly around the world racking up EQMs and going to the Hard Rock Cafe. You may know me as the person behind Pan Am Bag.
It took a lifetime to gather up the courage to ask, but I think the hard part is waiting for a response...
it has recently occurred to me that after 24 1/2 years of waiting, if I want to go on a date, I might need to suck it up and do the asking myself
I am pretty sure that no other invitations will be forthcoming, but I do have agency, so it's not like there's nothing I can do about it

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

the saddest rivalry game today is Washington State vs. Oregon State - all the other teams abandoned us, so now I guess we're rivals because we're the only teams in the conference

(but I did get a haircut, so that's good!)
I always root against Ohio State, but in addition I'm for Michigan, because if they win and Oregon win, then Oregon is in the conference championship.
But I also really badly need a haircut, so they'll have to do it without me, lol

I was just watching another episode of The American Revolution and when it went back to regular TV, I saw the score and might have said "good lord!" out loud
Watching Indiana/Purdue and I have to ask, does Curt Cignetti always look like that?

Had dinner with my parents, played canasta and Yahtzee, and ended up having a long talk about death, as you do, lol
(my parents don't have a will, and neither do I, so we're going to find an attorney and do all 3 at the same time. I never have time for stuff like that!)

Turns out they only have 3 home games left this year, so it would have to be this Sunday because I already have plans conflicting with the other two. Hmm.
I've never been to a Seahawks game, but I gotta use up this $150 StubHub credit by 12/31, so that would be something different to do at home.

oh man, the cupcakes are always when I'm not going to be at the airport!! too bad it's not 1 week later
Our fave furry frequent flyer’s big day is on Dec. 4. The Central Terminal will transform into Jett’s birthday bash with balloons, bubbles, cupcakes, cookies, and a splash of live music. Jett’s bringing a special photobooth moment so travelers can capture the cutest bday mems.

Reminds me of my visit to the American Airlines IOC, but of course I'm more interested in the behind-the-scenes at Alaska: www.seattletimes.com/business/ala...
Inside the SeaTac room where Alaska Airlines handles travel chaos
In a SeaTac office building, a group of Alaska employees are constantly monitoring the fleet and any disruptions. Here's a look inside the decision to cancel a flight.
