@SixFlagsDC billed my account after I requested acount freeze due to #pandemic. Decision to resume my membership & attend park should be mine, not Phase 2. Too bad @SixFlags is not listening to health experts. Unprecedented times require corporate flexibility. #Time2Cancel

@SouthwestAir on hold for an hour waiting to talk to a representative just to get a forgotten rapid rewards number. Customer service rep Marva picks up the phone and pretends she cannot hear me and hangs up. Great customer service. NOT!

Starting something new this year @WoodstockHS1 that I hope will catch on. Reserving parking spots for the visiting teams coaches wives close to the visitors entrance. They come to games dragging kids after working all day to support their husbands, team & players.

Coaching Wives are a RARE breed of woman.

They can juggle the house, the kids, their jobs, the long hours without their spouses, and still have enough energy to lift us up when needed.

@smerconish I’m a believer that driving a stick forces drivers to be more attentive. Also deters kids from borrowing mom’s car. 😀
