This really cracked me up. Apparently, an airport security agent in Frankfurt asked a musician to take his saxophone out of the case and play it. I guess it’s the agent’s opportunity to hear some live music for free. But apparently, the agent isn’t so much of a fan of …

A good friend sent me a tweet of a girl wearing a Space Invaders dress.  I had to have. Luckily, Googling it got me to the website and I got one.  Two days later, the dress was sold out in my size–permanently.   I was happy I got the dress …

The Lollipop Update 5.1.1 When the Android Lollipop update came out, it was difficult to tell what good it accomplished. It caused problems connecting to the internet, battery issues, lagging, and video playback issues. It also released some “features” that users are unhappy about.  I’ll get back to that in a …

I’m still a huge fan of US Airways’ upgrade process and I don’t want to see it go anywhere. One of the best things about the upgrade process is that as long as you have an elite on-board for every non-elite in your group, everyone gets treated as the top-tier …

 I buy almost everything online.  I even get meats and proteins through the mail and I use Amazon Pantry.  It’s my way of coping with being on the road so much. I’ve been eagerly looking forward to Amazon Fresh being released in my area, but there’s a new competitor.  Which …
