So last week I’m on a trip. Multiple flights thru multilple cities. So I have multiple boarding passes. Boston to New York, New York to Nashville, Nashville to O’Hare. So as I’m in BOSTON Logan working my way thru security, I accidentally put the New York to Nashville boarding pass in my passport instead of Boston to New York. I went thru THREE different TSA screeners, all of whom looked at my boarding pass and passport and NOT ONE noticed the fact I didn’t have a BOSTON boarding pass. Nice. Apparently ANY boarding pass is fine….

So then I’m coming back to Burlington from NY JFK. Security tight, can’t bring more than 3 ounces of toothpaste etc etc. The woman in front of me in the boarding line is a chef from Montreal. She has two oval shaped CALPHALON SKILLETS in her carry on. Nah, a nine inch anodized metal (I looked it up) skillet with a long stainless steel handle certainly couldn’t be used as a WEAPON. Unless you’re a housewife chasing your husband around I guess….

I’ve realized that for things that I don’t thoroughly understand, or things that I have had to learn how to do, I really HATE CHANGE. Specifically with software that works fine, but when the “engineers” decide to improve it, they change the user interface and suddenly I no longer know how to use it. I must be getting old.

OK, so his actual pay will be pro-rated, but that’s an insane amount of money for a baseball player…let alone a pitcher….let alone a teasip! I almost never fall into the camp that says athletes or actors or CEOs or whoever get paid too much, but $22 million for one baseball season or basketball season is just totally nuts. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go help my son work on his split-finger fastball…..
