Have some ketchup: Filling you in on what's new
I just can't believe that it's been months since my last blog entry! Things have been insanely busy (in a good way), and recreational writing has fallen victim to the pause button. While the creative juices sit on ice, maybe you'd like to share how you spent the rest of your summer. I went on wonderful trips to Amsterdam (pictured here) and Puerto Rico before August came to a close.A few thoughts about airline travel:
1) How come everyone on the plane stands up as soon as the jet arrives at the gate? If you're in the 30th row, you're still going to have to wait a while. Relax!
2) When people adjust their seats on the airplane, why can't they slowly ease back to their final position? I almost had my kneecap taken off last week sitting behind an eager recliner.
3) I was sitting in the emergency row today and the flight attendant asked if anyone needed him to review how to open the emergency door. Everyone shook their heads no. Is this really the time to be prideful? We all know that all of us could have benefitted from a tutorial.
Some of you may know that I'm moving to Washington, DC next month. If any Beantown locals want to inbox me with some ideas for my Farewell Tribute to Boston blog entry, be my guest! Otherwise, post an airplane annoyance for all to see.

This isn't really an annoyance, but rather an observation (of myself)...When I'm sitting on a plane and other passengers are boarding I almost always find myself grading the people coming down the aisle to determine who I wouldn't mind sitting next to. Imagine if airlines allowed customers to post their photo on a flight-specific web page. You could then choose where on the plane you wanted to sit based on the photos that are posted. It could be like the match.com of the sky.
Welcome to my hood! Great city. Plenty to do. Everybody knows everybody. You seem pretty savvy already, but of course you must hit up U Street and Georgetown. I love Bethesda too (tons of great restaurants for foodies like me). Enjoy!
