Very nice surprise in Fed Ex pkg II....

Like Beckles, I also received a Fed Ex package in the mail that I wasn't expecting!!

Congratulations on being selected as a winner in the Southwest Airlines, "Play Ball with Nolan Ryan" sweepstakes !!!!!

Fly to LA, visit Disneyland, opportunity to play in a softball game with Nolan Ryan, recent Major League Baseball Hall of Famer at Edison Field and afterwards, attend a lunch with him! Wow!

Congratulations sggolg! What a cool thing. Nolan Ryan is one of the only professional baseball players whose carrier I've actually followed. I did get to meet him once at a gala in Dallas. I'm sure he remembers me, just drop my name and he'll sign a baseball for you. Disneyland, here you come! Ride that Peter Pan ride. I always have to ride that thing. It brings back some great memories. The tea cups don't. I got sick. Alright, I'm just waiting for my Fed Ex package. It should be here any day. "Congratulations, you're the proud owner of a brand new 777! Michelle Pfieffer is your co-pilot! Here's your keys!! Go get 'em tiger!"

Congratulations, sggolf!!! It's good to hear that "one of our own" has won something really worthwhile from the airlines.

Southwest Airlines does have its perks.

Online contests are great! I won a 3Com Palm Pilot III back in January.

I THINK THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER ONE ON-LINE WAS RANDY'S FIRST CONTEST TO LAUNCH FLYERTALK. (REMEMBER RANDY... THE TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE DAY!) I think my winning question was how many miles for a business ticket from Dublin to the states on Air Lingus! I think I won 1000 Click Rewards!
Other than that... NOTHING!

Congratulations SGGOLF! I'm sure you and your husband will really enjoy that trip! You both deserve it! And PLEASE send us a picture or two to NJDavid's FlyerTalk gallery. Maybe get Nolan to hold up one of those Flyertalk luggage tags!

I have not been to a Disney party going on 28 years. Someday I will tell you all the story (off-line) of what happened on Main Street at Disneyworld!

Although I'm so bad they took down Eastern Airlines "If You had WINGS!" That was my favorite ride and I think I went thorugh it 75 times!

Space Mountain was awesome and that's another story I'll share someday off-line!

Nolan is awesome not because of whatever he did as a pitcher but because he was a regular guy who was just doing a job and trying to bring some pride to Texas. He was just another husband, father, son who did what most of us guys (and soem women I know) can only dream about doing.

He should be our official F-T Sports Hero!
(along with several fo the female tennis players and the entire U-S Women's world champion soccer team!)

Scott: I am so touched by what you said! I never pictured myself as anyone's hero.

And as for you wanderlust: If you don't get the package that's because I'm flying over your house with the lovely Michelle and I sharing PEPSIs at 40 thousand feet! ME-WOW! WOW! WOW!

As Catman knows, Djlawman's motto is:

You can't win if you don't play!!"

Congrats, sggolf!
