Adults - quick question - if I am in NYC on a Wednesday afternoon, is it easier to get out JFK or Newark. I could do either. I know I am coming into Newark, but going home I will be in meetings in the morning and then taking an afternoon flight out. Either has a direct flight.
From my own admittedly limited experience flying out of both airports, it's 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other. Boobs? Anything you can add?
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
YOU, I've always had better luck with getting to and from Newark. From Midtown you should have an easier and quicker commute. I'm assuming you'll be taking a car service. Remember that Wednesday is "matinee day", so you'll have more traffic coming into the City than going out. Once you get through the Lincoln Tunnel it should be smooth sailing to the airport. Of course if there are any accidents that could hinder the commute, but I still believe it would be easier/faster to leave out of Newark.

A mayonaise jar and 2 beers When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed …
‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.. The sand is everything else—the small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’ The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Yep, I picked Newark. And, not sure if I will take a car service or something else. My meetings end at about 1 and my flight is not until 5. But, the ticket is booked. Now, I just got figure out the rest of it.
That story is pretty perfect BTW Boobs.
Tink, I hope the drama goes away and does not come back.
YOU, if you go to PENN station most of the NJ transit trains stop at Newark airport. I know my Jersey Coastline does. It's very convenient. You get off, take the elevator or escalator up to the Tram. As long as you don't have much luggage it's a great option.

That was the plan - I am pretty sure that is what I did last time I was in the city and flew out of Newark. Or, I may just take a car and charge it to work, since I have to bring some presentable clothes for the meetings Monday - Wednesday, which is causing a wee bit more luggage than usual.
Up for a 7:30 meeting - How I love being 2 hours behind my co-workers.
April - June is going to be crazy! I go to Cedar Rapids for 4 days, home for 10, then NY for 9 days, home for 9, then SF for 3 days, home for 7, and then Cedar Rapids for another 4. I am going to owe the folks who feed my beasts some really nice thank you gifts!
And Boob, I sympathize - have they confiscated phones, or can you distract yourself with one?
Y - that is insane! All of my work is in Illinois, so other than a random out of state deposition I rarely travel. I used to have a lot of downstate Illinois work, but a loser partner lost that account!
Happy Tuesday! Local production of Les Miz - meeting some of our best friends for cocktails prior to show!
Morning peeps! I thought life was supposed to get easier as we got older? This training and taking over the job functions from Singapore in 3 weeks is going to kill me..or I'm going to kill someone...or 2 at this point.
