JetBlue, transferring at JFK?

Sometimes. Also USAir transferring at Reagan. AirTran just added a nonstop between FLL and ROC, so that'll be the big winner for the winter months. Of course, for the winter months, he'll mostly be flying south. And hopefully, he'll be back here permanently by hurricane season.

Dear Burger,

You are smarmy and/or phony.

Warmest regards,

Thanks. First the New York Times, and now you.

Jesus. It's like you haven't ever read the FB.

I thought it was the first time he'd understood even one of my posts. But then I read more carefully.

What I like are the automatic signatures with "regards" built right in. It sometimes comes off as so incongruous. A partner that I used to work for had an automatic "regards." He was fond of getting all worked up about something in an email and then the "regards" would look like he magically cooled down. For example:

"What can they possibly mean by that!!! They're crazy!!! Totally full of crap!

Regards,
[my boss]"

My brother does that. Whenever I get an email from him, I always think to myself, "what an asshole." And I like my brother.

I suppose it works fine with clients and other strangers, but it should be deleted from personal emails.

Regards,

Wonk

those canned sign offs can be modified for any one email. as an example your brother could delete the "regards" and replace it with "love" or "get your shit together" or some other thing appropriate to the personal email being sent to his sibling. he apparently doesn't care enough about the relationship to take the small moment to do so.

were you two close as children?

I can't help myself. I'm going to cut and paste the letter Blohan wrote to Robert Altman's family. All typos and horrific grammar and spelling are original. Peace.

"I would like to send my condolences out to Catherine Altman, Robert Altmans wife, as well as all of his immediate family, close friends, co-workers, and all of his inner circle.

I feel as if I've just had the wind knocked out of me and my heart aches.

If not only my heart but the heart of Mr. Altman's wife and family and many fellow actors/artists that admire him for his work and love him for making people laugh whenever and however he could..

Robert altman made dreams possible for many independent aspiring filmmakers, as well as creating roles for countless actors.

I am lucky enough to of been able to work with Robert Altman amongst the other greats on a film that I can genuinely say created a turning point in my career.

I learned so much from Altman and he was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I've had in several years.

The point is, he made a difference.

He left us with a legend that all of us have the ability to do.

So every day when you wake up.

Look in the mirror and thank god for every second you have and cherish all moments.

The fighting, the anger, the drama is tedious.

Please just take each moment day by day and consider yourself lucky to breathe and feel at all and smile. Be thankful.

Life comes once, doesn't 'keep coming back' and we all take such advantage of what we have.

When we shouldn't..... '

Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourselves' (12st book) -everytime there's a triumph in the world a million souls hafta be trampled on.-altman Its true. But treasure each triumph as they come.

If I can do anything for those who are in a very hard time right now, as I'm one of them with hearing this news, please take advantage of the fact that I'm just a phone call away.

God Bless, peace and love always.

Thank You,"

You know, it's easy to take cheap shots at the occasional typographical error in a letter written by someone who is obviusly being torn apart by grief and despair. But maybe the better approach would be to see through the typos and grammatical missteps to the message that she is conveying -- a message of hope and humility. Maybe if, when you woke up this morning, you said a silent thank you for the opportunity to breathe and be alive and experience life and living, you would not feel the need to throw your petty stones after spending your day trolling internet celebrity news sites. Maybe it is time for all of us to take a page from the book of Robert Altman, because he left us with a legend that all of us have the ability to do. And I don't know about the rest of you, but I am going to use my abilities to the best of my ability, because I just realized that I have a little legend-doing to do, while I'm still breathing and alive and have the chance.

With no thought for the millions of souls that hafta be trampled on the way to your triumph, of course. Typical.

Oops, that was supposed to be an edit, not a quote. But now that I think about it, leaving the typo intact in my original post is the most appropriate in this instance, Newbers be damned.

At a recent funeral the Pastor told of the deceased's practice of trying to make 3 people outside his family smile each day. It might be a waitress whose hairdo he'd compliment, another driver he'd let into traffic, soemone at work, whatever. But every day 3 smiles. and there, at the end of his life, who was to say those collective happier people weren't a bigger life's work than whatever he may have accomplished professionally.

To follow I upped my post count to 50 a day to try to meet the goal.

I trample millions of souls before I have my first cup of coffee in the morning. And I don't even drink coffee. Ever.

Think about it.
