Nuttin' Happened . . .

This was another one of those trips where it�s almost not worth writing the story up because nothing terribly interesting happened. I guess that�s a good thing, because it implies that I, and the people that I interact with, are so comfortable with the whole cross dressing thing that it�s nothing special. I suppose that I should be pleased!

Ahead of me in line at the airline counter was a young couple, apparently on their way to get married. He was asking about the cost to upgrade them to first class and then made the decision to go ahead and do it.

�Now I have to warn you, I can get you both into first class, but I don�t have any adjoining seats. Are you OK with that?� the customer service rep asked them.

�Sure, that will be OK� the young man told her, after glancing at his lady for confirmation.

�You can always ask the people next to you if they will move so that you can sit together. Very few people will tell you no. Oh, and I find that it helps a lot of you tell the person sitting next to you that you get violently ill with motion sickness. They just can�t wait to trade seats after you tell them that!�  That got a huge laugh from all of us within ear shot.

This time I was flying with US Airways, and much to my disappointment I discovered that I had gone from being �Gold Preferred� to �Silver Preferred�. What this means is that my odds of getting upgrades to first class on US Airways just plummeted AND I guess that they are supposed to charge me for my second bag.

�OK, so I see that you are silver preferred!� said the customer service rep with a smile as she checked me in.

�Silver? I thought I was Gold? Heck, I�ve even got this purty little card y�all sent me saying that I�m Gold� I replied while handing her the card.

�Yeah, they updated everyone�s status on March first, and it looks like you didn�t make Gold this time. Sorry. . .� she told me, managing to look honestly unhappy about it.

�Oh well, bummer! No worries though.�

�I guess I�m supposed to charge you for the second bag, but I think we�ll just overlook that � what do you think?� she said with a grin.

�I think that sounds awesome � thank you!�

So tickets in hand I headed over to a bench before the security check point to pull my laptop out of it�s bag and to take of my jewelry, and out of the corner of my eye I can see that someone is walking directly toward me. I glanced up and found a very pretty woman with gorgeous hair down to her waist looking straight at me, and so I stopped to wait for her.

�You know, I just had to tell you how much I love that coat!� she told me, pointing at my pretty blue coat.

�Awe, thank you! It iskind of pretty isn�t it? I think I got it at JC Pennys a while back.� I replied with a huge smile. Let�s face it, I lovegetting compliments from women � there is something most gratifying and affirming about it.
