nepa-leathrmen.org

It is day 2 of the Menza, and we are having a ball. the shows are fantastic and the food is good. We went To STEAMTOWN this afternoon and Mr Ganz saw his old friend and we walked around. Mr Ganz is complaining that he is hungry, and Mr Laytom is unable to shut the cell phone off. I can not tell you how many times Mr O"Malley has yelled at him about this problem. Otherewise a good time for all

The Menza Day One

With my utmost apoligizes for not blogging very much, but tonight I arrived in Scranton with Mr. Laytom, and Mr Ganz. we saw our old friend GBBM and we had a good laugh. It took us awhile to get up to Scranton Pa, yes that Scranton, the home of 30000 pounds of bananas. It seems that Mr Laytom has a problem with sitting in a car. He is like a 2 year old splishing and splashing along the 150 mile drive up the PA TURNPIKE. He dirtied the car and himself, and when he needed to get his trusty cell phone out of the car he said that he spotted some hot girls that were interested in him. Yes with his teeth, I say BS.

THE MENZA

It is that time again that I go up to Scranton Pennsylvania with Mr. Ganz and Mr Laytom to the NEPA Leathermen 12th annual awards dinner. The annual dinner is April 26, and the website is nepaleathermen.org.

Changes

Last Weekend I was watching the pregame show in the Sweet Sixteen of Basketball. They were interviewing a coach of a team in the championship. This coach who I know is an alumni of the University that I went to told of the fact that at his alma-mater his dormitory was recently demolished. The next day I checked up on this and I was sad to learn that it was the same dorm that I spent a good number of years in.

The rest of the day I was in a fog, because this Passage of Youth to me is the same as if an old friend had passed. It has been a good 13 years since I slept in that building, but the memories do not fade.

The Economy Sucks

I was still reeling about ATA airlines when I heard about The SKYBUS dilemma. The problem is that the economy sucks. I know I am feeling a bit more pinched today, as my workload has been cut, due to reduced sales. I know this may not be exactly because of the economy, but the fact is, We are in deep shit.

ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID

Mr OMalley is not in a happy mood today. Last night he was in high spirits after getting home from the bingo with Mr Ganz and Mr Laytom. He was driving home and happened to catch the beginning of the Americas Truckin Network, hosted by Bubba Bo. Bubba was reading the news headlines and he was talking about threee airlines that went out of business the past week. He mentioned ALOHA, ATA and then he said that SKYBUS out of Columbus Ohio went out today. I said ARE YOU SHITTING ME. I was pissed. I was originally going to fly the first flight out of Wilmington Delaware on March 7, 2008. There was a major storm that day in THE BUCKEYE, so I called MR ELGARF, and I explained the situation and then we said that we would see each other soon. I was to receive a credit, that now is going to be a refund, but the fact is I was fortunate that I did not book another flight yet. I heard about all the people that got screwed when the airline just quit. How the hell can people do that. You had a lot of stranded people and they are pissed. If you look at the situation, the whole SKYBUS idea was a failure at launch. How can they sell $10 tickets when they are paying $3.00 a gallon for the distillate, known as jetfuel?
