@SenTomCotton do you think Arkansas farmers want to wait until after 8 am for the sun to rise and see it set at 6 pm instead of 5? Vote no for the kids and the farmers. I hated year round DST. #beentheredinethat

@united I understand the why. Now, if I end up in an airport with a long enough layover to visit a United Club that will let me in. I am not holding my breath that I will get in before the end of January.

Got my new @united Explorers card and just got back from my first trip. Disappointed SFO United Clubs in F and G had the dreaded “no one-time passes” sign out before our 17 hour SFO/SIN flight.

One of my favorite traditions when visiting Kuala Lumpur is worshiping with Garden City KL. There is a profound sense of community and hope here that feels like home, no matter how far we’ve traveled. 🌍✨ #GardenCityKL #KualaLumpur

As someone who spent decades in family services, seeing my own family thrive in an international environment is a beautiful reminder of why the work matters. No matter where, family is the foundation! (And sometimes that foundation is built on burgers and Cold Stone ice cream!)"

Is Capital One Venture X anti-family or is Priority Pass? Planned changes for lounge access seem aimed at reducing number of children. #prioritypass #venturex #capitalone

I have a daily recording set for ABC World News Tonight with David Muir. I tired of everything being “breaking news.” Who should I start watching? Norah or Lester?

ESPN Game Day has lost its magic for me. Jury still out on Saban. I am overloaded on McAfee two minutes in. #Bignoon

I snuck into the second line behind these newly weds in the French Quarter.

So done with the Weather Channel. They should not politicize an imminant disaste, either side. Thankful for YouTube.

#KLM is overrated! I was looking forward to my first experience with them. Onboard experience has been pretty good. Communication is terrible! Plus because of a change in the flight number of the last leg of my return trip, they canceled and did not rebook and did not notify me.

@hurricanetrack I do not go the area without eating there

Hey #arbys where is the (corned) beef? Other half had a little more. Both had some gristle and fat. $5.49. I should have gone to #jasonsdeli And why is #arbys always out of apple pies!
