United Airlines Should Name A Jet After Me

I was going through my frequent flier account tonight and discovered that I have already flown 60 segments this year. I'm already re-qualified for 1K status, but not a million miler yet. I'm edging closer to it though and the day I finally make it will be a huge milestone for me.

95% of the flights I have flown have been as a cancer patient flying for a cure. All my accrued mileage is from domestic flights. In other words, I truly am earning my status.

I'll be the first to tell you that the upgrades are sometimes nice, though I have had some awful seats, but nothing will ever make me love airplane food. It ranks right up there with the worst hospital food.

I tried eating kosher on a flight once and the smell was so bad that other passengers were complaining. I will lay you ten to one odds that there was no way that food was blessed by a rabbi.
