He's at Newark airport right now, meeting ladies and waiting to board his flight.

He had two beers for breakfast.

He is currently ordering his second double gin and tonic.

He has asked me to inform you all that he is a mess and would delight in the opportunity to fight with someone.

Good luck y'all.

hopefully the plane won't have too many rules for him.

So much for keeping his tray table in an upright and locked position.

Hell ... so much for keeping the Mayor in an upright position.

DG

I think they put him in Asta's travel cage, so he doesn't try to break any rules.

He's boarding!
He was at the wrong gate, of course.
He's a mess.

I weep for this weekend.

DG

Didn't someone put a luggage tag around his neck that says "Mayor, bound for Seattle" "Do not Poke".

Yes.... they put the "Mayor, bound for Seattle" pinned to the front of his shirt, and the "Do not poke" pinned to the back of his pants.

DG

he should prolly keep that on, considering where he's going.

No kidding ... maybe he should swap it out for "Exit only."

DG

Jack gets to give him "the key" to the city.

'Cause I'm. . . . Sailing, on a jet plane. I don't know when I'll be back a-gain."

peter, paul and ugly.

How, exactly, does one sail on a jet plane?

I believe that the term is "leaving".

Not that I'm an expert on Peter Paul and Mary lyrics, mind you....



Oh hell, blame my mother. Lord knows I do.

Grate.

Now look what you've done.

I hope you get this one stuck in yer head....

Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

CHORUS:
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?

CHORUS

Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

CHORUS

Arghhh. I gotta go put on some Tom Waits to get that out of my head.

Damn your eyes, Justin!

Next he'll post the lyrics for Styx "Come Sail Away"

Smartass. You should know better than that!

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said, come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing, come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me



Suffer!

Am I right, or am I right?

I wouldn't have, but when you put me on the spot, I had no choice.

The (bald) eagle has landed!

Touched down at SeaTac and is now going in search of his rental car. Sure hope those gin and tonics have worn off by now.

He's a mess.

Actually, that song was written by John Denver.

I have no idea why I know that.

I really shouldn't.

(mommy!)

Let's blame your mother too.

Rumor has it Asta put a sign on The Mayor for his flight.

Update:

He's got the rental car.
But he has no idea where he's going.

Seems someone was too busy drinking to print out maps.

Hope he doesn't get arrested or lost. . .

That'd be why I'm renting from Hertz.

For an extra $9/day, I get a GPS navigation system which will tell me turn - by- turn how to get where I wanna go!

Damn the mayor has been all over this week. wasn't he in El Cerito on Monday, and just flew fom Newark to Seatle to day? Damn anyone would be a mess. Guess I'll find out in two days.

If I wanted that sort of instruction, I would take my mother with me on the road.

I guess I better start printing out directions as well.

Just leave a trail of sample bottles
