BETTER THAN IT USED TO BE
If you enjoy March Madness as much as I do, you have to love the way you can now stay connected with your phone
or tablet. The NCAA and CBS provide mobile links to all of the action.
Oh how that could have made life easier a few years ago!
When the girls were in school, we'd take an annual spring break tonic of sun and beach on beautiful Sanibel Island. As its was, that day of air travel conflicted with key games in
the big dance. Having a couple of Indiana teams, or more,
that I was passionate about, it was torture to be in the air or car and away from seeing the tourney.
There were many years I'd ask the ATA flight attendant to ask the pilot to keep us up to date on scores. Since the Indianapolis based flight crew and the plane full of passengers, for the most part, had the same basketball jones, they did a great job. Still nothing like being able to
watch it on your phone. Somethings in the good old days
weren't so good as they are now eh?!
LOTS OF COMPANY AS WE WRITE ON
I caught an amazing statistic in this blog. What you are reading now is one of 181 million blogs in the world! Mind boggling. As we used to say in television news, "Thanks for tuning in here. We know you have choices." And the number keeps growing.

Spent a weekend on Sanibel a couple of weeks ago with good friends from Indy. Don Abbott has a home on the Dunes golf course on Sanibel.
ReplyDeleteGeorge and Muriel Mikelsons live in Lighthouse Point full time. They visited us a couple of months ago. We took the boat out for a sight seeing trip...past Tiger's new house and did some fishing.
Great memories of ATA
Gary Todd
I presume Don is still a riot. We used to seem him when we visited the Island.
DeletePlease extend my best to George. Our paths crossed a bit back when I was active with the Chamber and of course flying ATA. What a great line it was.
Good to hear from you Gary. Be well
Gary, I can dream of dunes in Sanibel and remember times with the Mikelson family. We grew up with Muriel in Cleveland during summer visits. I have some photos from 2000 in their Indpls home which they might like to have. Do you have an address for them?\\
