Ex-Qwest CEO may face charges next week

I need to scan the pic I have with Nacchio and Afshin and the couple other guys during my trip in 2001. The funny thing about the picture is that out of the five people in the picture, I'm the only one not under federal investigation. :-)

Anyone who has flown into Midway knows it's always an entertaining experience. I can distinctly remember one time flying back from Florida to touchdown just a few hundred feet from the middle of the runway. The next few seconds can only be described as the fastest 120 to zero stop I've ever experienced in my life. We didn't hit the end of the runway like tonight's flight, but we did take the corner pretty close. Scary thing is most people that I've spoken to that have flown in and out of Midway have said the same thing.

I've always wondered why we've dumped billions into O'Hare for expansion when the one airport in Chicago that could use an extra thousand feet of runway sits. When we took off to Florida last time on ATA on a 757, it was an interesting takeoff with turning the corner off the taxiway at about 30mph, then slamming the throttles forward just so we could clear the fence by about 100 feet.

Even through millions has been spent on improving Midway, I have to wonder if Daley is going to call for Midway to be closed or at least ramped back. The airport is the most conveinent airport in Chicago (besides the now sodded Meigs Field).

To everyone who uses a handset or a headset during a conference call....

STOP BREATHING INTO THE DAMN PHONE! YOU SOUND JUST LIKE A CONGESTED HEIFER TRYING TO MAKE A PRANK PHONE CALL!

That's all for now....

This has to be one of the most self-absorbed comments that I've ever heard in my lifetime...trust me, I've heard/said a few of them.

"And I happen to love the Kennedy Center Honors, because it's the only time when artists are treated as heroes."

I'm sorry, maybe I missed the part where guys coming home from Iraq shuffle back into their normal lifes while when Jennifer Aniston farts, it's front page news.
