Welcome

Formerly titled "The Traveling Job Coach" and then "The Traveling Athletic Director," this blog is
for me and my memory because it's not very good.
My memory is not very good. See what I mean?

This blog has also morphed into a place for me to share my thoughts on life and how I see the world.
These thoughts often bubble to the surface during my travels.

I don't concern myself with grammar. This is simply a place for me to record my memories,
thoughts and feelings while I travel.

I started this blog before my trip to Europe July 10-24, 2009. Email me at brosefield@gmail.com
whilst I'm traveling or comment on posts here if you see something that
strikes your fancy.

Yes, I used the words whilst and fancy in the same paragraph.

Arm Rests

I think arm rests in general don't get enough credit. That goes for
any chair that you are sitting in. But I must send a shout out to the
arm rest on my right that just saved my elbow from some serious pain

The scenario:

I'm sitting in the middle aisle on the far right seat (xx xxo xx I'm
sitting in the o) and the flight attendant was pushing the drink cart
up the aisle towards the back of the plane as is customary in this
hemisphere(as well all know, they go the other way I'm the southern
hemisphere but I digress) and no sooner did I formulate a though in my
head about how difficult it must be to actually turn that cart side to
side did she BANG into the armrest. This armrest took it like a man
and I'm thankful to have him/her/it by my side. Yes, I hope you heard
the rimshot.

By the way, will the statment "take it like a man" ever change to:

"take it like a tough person or other entity" or
"take it as though you are incapable of feeling or reacting to pain" or
"I'm not sure if I'll offend you by saying take it like a man so I'll
just say 'go get em tiger or some other seemingly tough wild animal'"

Just something to think about.
