As some of you are well aware, I have a knack of paying attention to extremely inconsequential things. Case 392: Delta Airlines safety video. Every time I see it, I can’t focus on the message – I am so distracted by flight attendant Katherine Lee’s overly highlighted cheek bones (and highlighted from the bottom??) and tragically Botoxed lips. See below.

I try my best not to reveal any touchy feely emotions (eeks! yikes! uncomfortable!) on a public blog, but I just have to say…life is so good right now.  I’m on a business trip to the Pitts, and am having a tremendously valuable, productive experience here. I leave a night before everyone else, and for the first time ever on a business trip – I want to stay that extra day to be with my colleagues. Amazing, huh? I’m happy with my job, happy with my friends and fam, happy with my traveling, happy, happy, happy.

And, scene.

Switching over to something completely unrelated…I’m so disappointed in Daschle. The whole situation is infuriating. Argue all you want of his political assets (which, from the little I know about him, actually seem like they would prepare him well to revamp health care) – but in such a high profile position, “inadvertently” forgetting to pay taxes is unacceptable. The whole situation is unfortunate, but we must not set precendent time and time again, forgiving public servants for their seemingly deliberate omissions of fact.
