The Windy City

was fab. My cabbie was a great tour guide since it was about a 15 mile ride to where I was going. Pointed out all the sites & sounds & even gave me his cell phone number for the next time I was in town so he could take me around....now that was a little creepy. The interviews went well but more so met alot of really nice people. In one of my interviews, all we spoke about was the Michael Vick dog-fighting situation and whether he should be going to jail or not. Didn't know what to make of that.

I flew Southwest Airlines for the first time & wasn't impressed. Their terminals are so tiny and their gates so close together, it seems like people are standing on top of each other. Not to mention the whole unassigned sitting thing. Wild wild mid-west. Then my flight was cancelled in the morning & trying to get on the next flight took standing in line for a couple of hours. On my return flight, they refused to let me on an earlier flight, even though there were plenty of empty seats, without paying a $60 upgrade fee. It's too bad they have the cheapest ticket prices to Chicago so I'll just have to deal.
