My last meal earlier this month before leaving Frankfurt for Chicago. I had a 6 hour layover (to fit in the work budget - didn't want to risk the hour layover) so rented a room at the transit hotel for 4 hours. Best decision ever.

I need an aviation podcast recommendation that covers current events. I was a long time patreon of airline pilot guy, but unsubscribed after they published a plane tale mocking pronouns. Plus they did not respond to my heartfelt email attempting to nicely educate. #aviation #podcast

I had wild bratwurst with pan fried spatzel with onions and cabbage. I don't know if you can tell, but it was delicious. I love Germany. I also had a liter of beer but that is a normal serving in NRW I'm sure of it. #königpilsner #wirthaus #beer #momnnomnom

I do not remember why I have this picture but given I'll soon be in the land of the funny-frisch it seemed good

Sketchy is mad at me because I didn't get the truly epic breakfast spread in the lounge because my stomach was upset and now we have to settle for potatoes in various forms (all the lunch selections have beans in them. Except the cauliflower cheese and I'd rather not challenge the lactose today)

Before landing at Heathrow today, the United pilot said it's going to be a little "sporty" but don't worry, he's good at his job. I almost threw up from the turbulence during landing. I don't get car, sea or air sick. Thanks #stormdaragh

Sketchy says he likes his amenity kit because it's for people who like spas. Not enough to actually have me put it in a photo apparently...

Sketchy is unhappy being in premium economy but at least it's better than lufthansa's PE.

My mother, a likely trump voter said to me that both sides are the same and as evidence said Biden will pardon his son. I insisted he wouldn't.

Yes he was treated differently but he's also had a lot of opportunities because of who his dad is. You kind of have to take the good with the bad.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

It's the night before Thanksgiving and I think my husband might be sneaking tranquilizers into my drinks because I'm fairly calm. Or it's the two Irish Knockouts I had at little pops in lisle.
