American Airlines, I unfriend you

That 24 hours it was supposed to be until I saw my love, to celebrate his graduation from officer's training, has melted into 48.

My first flight to San Francisco was delayed, then delayed and, no surprise, delayed twice more. While I certainly want any and all mechanical issues to be resolved forthwith, I would have also enjoyed it if any of the eight American Airlines agents would have helped me make my puddle jumper connection to San Luis Obispo.

But, no. Why? Because, as the first Crabbers McGee agent told me, my connection was on United.

What?! Ohhhh, yes. The lady actually said the words, "Well, it's your fault if you are late. You shouldn't have booked on United."

His version of me

Dressedasme Lil E, in part showing off for a very giggly friend and in part doing a pretty spot-on impression of the fancy lady of the house, click-click-clicked his way down our long hallway and emerged just like this.

Giant ring, chunky necklace, flashy red wedge heels, drapey cardigan and a little shakey-booty walk and drawn out "hiiiii, honeyyyyy" -- he got that all very right.

But it's the athletic shorts and slightly ironic graphic tee that really did it, don't you think?

I'm not sure if he's headed for SNL or some (ummm) other stage, but I have a feeling this kid's future includes spotlights, sparkle and the critical pause after his cue, just waiting for the inevitable laughter.

Yeah, he gets to stay.
