A couple of things I have to respond to..

NJ David... you hit on another issue with me... if we dress clean and neat, then why can't we wear chinos or jeans and poloshirts (or to Hawaii my Hawaiian shirt) and my Red Green Show Ballcap and my Converse White HighTops. (Yes in the business I wear the suit and tie and wingtips or Loafers... Unless like you Dave I get the time to go to the hotel and change like
Superman.)

I have seen 1K's and other elites in first
who dress worse than me on Friday's (my sweatshirt and jeans day at work.)

Hate dressing up unless it's work or taking HOlly out or a special occassion or I'm meeting a good friend or special lady for the first time!

About the talking/smiling/contact thing... I am very very shy (like my cat, Eddie.) It takes me awhile to warm up to people, and I don't want to initate conversation for fear
teh person next to me would tell me to go jump off (I will not use THAT work.) I normally wait for the person next to me to say the first word, I chime in something and if there's a conversation then fine. If not, fine.

Some people in first give me a look like I don't belong there. I did not know that first class was restricted to only the allegedly beautiful and rich (with drooping pants, shirts sticking out, and shoes off, coming aboard drunk and passing out, saying its their right because they've paid 25 hundred dollars for a first class ticket.)

They are unlike all of us, who dress well, will stick up for our friends if they are in trouble, are smart, friendly and all have a lot of class, whether we wear a Brooks Brothers suit, polo shirt, 49-er sweatshirt... or a very dashing, colorful and sexy looking Hawaiian shirt. CATMAN
