We’ll wait for details until you’ve returned home and stacked some Zs. Safe travels!
May TSA find you and your luggage utterly uninteresting.
I didn’t realize that Mazda made airplanes. Because I’m pretty sure you aren’t driving. It’s bad enough making Ohio in one day from Florida. California? Talk about your Zoom Zoom on a rocket.
Maybe one of them newfangled flying cars.
Maybe he acquired a jet pack whilst in LA?
Whoa, Coke Zero, In-N-Out Burgers and futuristic flying gear. Best catering ever. Did you get that Ford Mustang too John?
Safe travels John, Really interested to hear your review re: Obama cabinet.
Hmmm. . . well, if we aren’t allowed to expect something more today, are we at least allowed to hope for it?
I think I shall do that.
Travel well.
Tangentially (naughty, I know) thought you might be interested to know about the latest and greatest involving your favorite pile of horseshit:

Eagerly awaiting your detailed review (OK…I’ll settle for brief impressions) of the Blackberry Storm…
