On top of I'll be in First/Business on United, bound to be a shocker.
So if I get past TSA, I'm good.

I will NOT be calling TSA at LaGuardia as a prank. No Fly Lists are not to be toyed with.

I always go out of EWR these days.
Can't stand JFK, never mind LGA.

I hate all three. But my experience has me hating Newark most and LaGuardia the least. Driven in part probably by familiarity - knowing the quirks and way around (physically, logistically, and spiritually) of each.

But the most miserable airport on the east cost is Boston Logan. Apologies to anyone who likes BOS unless you are a Bruins fan..

I would have loved to have seen him, also Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford and others, oh yeah, NHOP, He could do more on an upright than Jaco could do on electric.

I was about 16 when that hit, psychedelic!

My appreciation of opera stemmed from Bugs Bunny...




I did some work for a music professor associated with the local symphony. She asked if I knew any classical music. I told her that I knew a bit, but it was learned from cartoons. She admitted that many people develop their appreciation of opera and classical music the same way.

And then there was Richie Blackmore...



I come to classical and opera from rock n roll and silliness fundamentals.

"I'm gonna get that wabbit if it's the last thing I do!!!"

I've never been cancelled at LGA for snow (delayed but not cancelled). Thunderstorms on the other hand have caused me no end of problems at LGA.

As for lame - 17 from Santa Cruz to San Jose gets closed for a dusting of snow! Californians can't drive in snow...

One of my favorite albums from the mid 70s...but doesn't have that song.

This might be a flight I get noticed.

Maybe.

Not if you're flying into SFO...

 

[bobyoung53]

I didn't take it that way all all Bob. Some of it maybe should be denigrated! But then I hear some stuff that's out there and think I do have really great taste in music!

I didn't think so but just in case. I sometimes shoot off my mouth before I think, I'm grateful for the edit function.

Ha!!! Kinda ironic in a way.
But I get it.

Got stuck for a weekend in New Jersey because of an inch of snow that closed Newark. All because the client decided to drone on past 4pm in some useless conversation.

There's a time out on the edit function if you’re not a supporting member.
Trust me, I know.

I can usually edit for about 24 hours, it used to be just about forever until a year or two ago. Cough up you tacaño!

Ok, truth be told. One of my cousins is like 7 minutes from Newark.
(I still can’t stand JFK or LGA)

So I have an out if a flight gets cancelled, or I don’t wanna be stranded at some dang airport.

How many of said cousin's cars have been stolen?

Just by @JJR58 or in total?
