(really not helping my creeper status with these photos)
This could hurt Russel's endorsement deal as AS's CFO...Chief Football Officer.

I sat next to this guy once. Didn't really know who he was but looked familiar. Then I realized I saw him in this segment on WSB at home: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/conc...ll-ca/53714786. Seemed like a nice guy and told me he was a DM in our short conversation. As it turns out he was born in the isolated, rural town of 5,000 Eastman, GA, where I currently study. Smart dude, never came back.

I would have asked to be reseated.

Apparently Garrison Keillor has been on the receiving end of more than a few of the "how was your flight" surveys: (from this weekend's show in Atlanta)

And just for good measure, an opinion piece he wrote on the occasion of the NW/DL merger for those of you who missed it the first time around:

Not recent, but a little while back Kareem Abdul Jabbar was boarding my JFK-LAX flight right before me. After passing through the door, he took a left turn and I took a right.

Before heading down the aisle I looked at the flight attendant and said, "No fish for him please."

Got a blank stare.

Oh what the hell. I'd have told that FA to get off the plane for her ignorance, LOL. Too bad they weren't still playing the safety vids with him at the end.

I'm sorry, but you must have him confused him with someone else. His name is Roger Murdock; he's the co-pilot.

Traci Braxton, in F with me on ATL-DCA last Friday night. She was returning home to the DC area from attending an event recognizing her sister Toni Braxton in Atlanta the previous day.
