This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Bumped Fliers and No Plan B – New York Times

US Airways is particularly bad. It was especially hammered home when, while stuck in Philly, I saw them bump passengers due to weight restrictions. Not the passengers weight mind you. The plane was overweight because it had the luggage of the rest of us who were stranded on it because, while people get bumped, luggage of those people still goes on the flight… Simply unforgivable.  It is one of the many reasons I will never fly them again.

When you’re in your little room
and you’re working on something good
but if it is really good
You’re gonna need a bigger room
and when you’re in the bigger room
You might not know what to do
You might have to think of
How you got started sittin’ in your little room
