So….My Sister and Brother in Law are in Hawaii right now

And there is a tsunami that is supposed to hit in about half an hour. My sister said they are at the airport, even though their flight doesn’t leave until 10pm local time (around 3am CST). And of course, that airport is ON the water, on the east side of the island. To say I’m…

Can't Wait for "Up in the Air"

Have you seen the previews for Up in the Air? Every time the trailer comes on I think, “Wow! Those are my people!” or, “How did Jason Reitman get in my head and find out the details of my traveling life?” The reviews are good, there is Oscar buzz…. And then, of course, there’s George…
