@ThatEricAlper I think what some people don’t unterstand is that some of us have sat long enough. It’s not about trying to get off early, it’s being able to stand up. Duh
@musicalvagabond Indeed. First concert I ever saw. 1972. Chicago. Had listened to Aqualung. Guy walked into circulation dept of a paper I worked at, asked “Anybody want Tull tickets?” Literally scores of concerts later, I’m still jamming
@TravelEsquire I’m taking the Amtrak Mardi Gras run from Mobile AL to New Orleans and then on to LA next week.
Not inexpensive but I guarantee it will be much more enjoyable than flying. So much more could be done in this country.
@eliz_blackstock I was traveling in Europe with plans to go to Cesate for a few weeks. Happened to check the F1 calendar and saw Monza would have their race while I was in Cesate. A local 45 minute cab ride and pickup post race. Best moves I’ve ever made.
@BoardingArea@garyleff I travel full time and always carry a digital scale and check my bags’ religiously. Rarely has the airports’ scale matched mine. They are usually 1.5 to 2 kilos heavier. Never been an issue but now I know.
Happy birthday to Lowell George, whose wandering spirit and slanted and enchanted imagination seems to enliven us more and more with each passing day, even as we lament his absence. A few years back I wrote about Lowell and Little Feat for Oxford American. https://t.co/yKhNPAsRzq
