T.G.I.F.: Come Fly With Me


This video has gone viral with 3,000,000 views in less than a week.  It hit broadcast news last night.  One word: Cool.

The incredible footage was captured, via eagle-cam, over the famous Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) glacier in the French Alps near Chamonix. Watch closely as the bald eagle soars above the hillside fringes of the glacial valley, and as it pumps its wings (at the 25-second mark), to gain more height and/or speed, and as it glides past people on the verdant slope.” (Source: Grindtv.com)

REBOOK? Not a chance.

The security line is snaking around the corner. And I’m in the PRIORITY LINE. (Snaking. Snake. 2013. Chinese New Year of the Snake. The Snake. The Snake is keen and cunning, quite intelligent and wise. Not this snake. What a Putz.) Continue reading “Going South to Go North”

Here’s to getting airborne on Hump Day…

And it only takes a mere 20 seconds…VOLUME UP.
