January 1, 2007 Happy New Year, hope everyone had a great Holiday. I have to back track a bit and share a few stories from my trip to Charlotte. One of the last things I did while I was there was to meet Dave where he works at Chip Ganassi’s Racing. He had offered to give me a tour of the facility and I was not about to pass up on that opportunity. The tour of the shop was great. I got to see everything up close – all the cars, where they fabricate them, paint them and then do the assembly. What a fabulous facility they have. Their garage is more organized and cleaner than most people’s homes. Dave works on the 41 Target car and does most of the interior assembly. The tour was great and probably the highlight of my trip down to Charlotte. I really did not meet anyone from the company so it did not help with the job search – oh well!!! Saturday morning I dropped of my Ford Mustang at the car rental and headed to the airport to catch my plan home. I while really miss the Mustang – what a fun car to drive!!! Our flight home was completely full and I was assigned the very last seat on the plane. I waited until the very last boarding to get on the plane as I knew I had the last seat in the plane. When I finally got to my seat the attendant asked me to wait a minute before sitting down. I was really hoping I was not going to get bumped from the flight. It turned out that there was a mother with 3 small children and they did not all have seats together. The attendant asked if I would give up my seat so they could sit together. I agreed to change seat and took the only other seat available in the center of the plane. The attendant was quite apologetic as I had traded my isle seat for a middle seat. Our plane was then slightly delayed due to some mechanical difficulty. Just before taking off the attendant came back and again thanked me for switch seat and then asked me to join them in First Class!!! Wow, that is the way to fly. Everything about First Class is so much better than in coach. The drinks, the food, the bathroom and I think even the quality of the air is better. I have never had good things to say about Northwest Airlines but they were certainly good to me on this trip. Needless to say my trip home was great! J
