Roger’s efforts to get us bumped up to First Class were unsuccessful and the flight was packed. I sat next to Ma and Pa Kettle and the lady in the seat next to Roger had a chicken in her lap. Got all checked in at the lovely Marriott Waterfront (hi-speed net access for $10 a day. Given the room rate, you’d think they could throw in the broadband) and headed over to Starbucks #1 to get Roger a cup of joe.

Beautiful weather here in Seattle. Like the song says, “The greenest skies you’ve ever seen.” Had a great meal…walked along the waterfront…and traded stories from Learfield’s early days.
