Read the fine print!

United Airline's baggage fee subscription option has received a lot of attention but this is one of the few articles that mentions it may not be necessary for some frequent flyers because their option (Red Carpet Club, Economy Plus, etc) already offers to waive or discount baggage fees for members. Before subscribing, be sure to check out the benefits of your United frequent flyer program.

Writing as Therapy

Death, or so I am told, is an introspective process. Not just for the dying person, but also, for those remaining behind. Since the passing of my mother in February 2009, I have found it very difficult to write about the outside world. On the other hand, I am making great progress on my fiction, and I have begun keeping a journal in the manner of Anne Frank (that is to say, I write letters to my mother).

Along the way I am learning more about myself and who I may become as a writer. I am not exactly who I thought I was, then, again, the world isn't the same as it was three short months ago. I admit I am interested to see where this journey takes me but at the same time would willingly give it up to have my mother back. Since that isn't an option, I will just have to continue along this path and see where it takes me....
