Back from Columbus!

Greetings one and all! Pebbles and I got back from Columbus a few hours ago, so we've been hanging out around the house all day watching TV and looking at the trip photos. Our friend Mikey was in great spirits and we had much fun with him and his finacee, Irene. Got into Columbus around 9:30pm on Friday night, a dead easy 3.5 hour drive. Got to Mikey's apartment complex and got lost for about five minutes, but a short cellphone call and a few hastily conceived directions soon set us right once again. Our trip did entail quite a bit of activity, including a trip to the zoo, dinner at several exotic places, and a movie. I'll post picture and give you all a nice, long description of the weekend tomorrow, but right now I have a major migraine headache, so I don't want to sit in front of the PC for too long. As a teaser, here's a picture of a White Tiger that I got at the zoo...notice how dedicated of a blogger I am, staring right into the face of the beast, just to bring you, my audience, a view of this noble creature as seen from my own eyes!

Speaking of which, I was watching the Today show on ABC this morning. Matt Laurer did an interview with a blogger named Queen of Sky who happened to work for a large airline and who was complaining about being fired from the company because of certain suggestive pictures that she had taken in her uniform. She claims that the airline was discriminating and she was unjustly fired. I say bullcrap, I read her blog and it wasn't really anything spectacular. In fact, she claims that her blog had been getting 100s of readers since she started it in January (as a form of therapy for coping with the death of her mother). Well, the blog has only gotten many (i.e. > 10) comments since the legal action came into the light and she spends much time talking about her *somewhat raunchy and marginally interesting* adventures in and out of the sky. Speaking of which, she actually told Matt Laurer that the images had been removed from her site, yet I still found the link to them just now. Go give her a look at:

and tell me if you think they were justified in firing her. Frankly, I think they were and I totally abhor people that utilize their blogs for the purpose of celebrity and/or financial gains, especially when they really have nothing of interest to say!
