You completely understand, Holly.

Glad I could provide the chuckle, I guess what I meant was “moving-sidewalk” which is, let’s be honest, nothing more than a flat escalator.

Paulie, have a great trip. And thanks, the term “walking-sidewalk” gave me a chuckle to start my Friday (yes, I missed reading ITP yesterday – another busy day at work).

Yeah, I understand the OCD thing. I turned around today on my way home to Alabama because I realized that I had forgotten to turn off my coffee pot. It has an automatic shutoff. But I can’t handle that. And oh yeah, I had two freaking out kitties in the car. Let’s prolong that.

Yes, I truly believe that Hartsfield is the easiest airport in the world. I know, the security there is ghetto at best, but it’s no Helga at Frankfurt who can make even me cry, or Sulieman at Attaturk in Instanbul freaking me out, making me think I’m gonna have to go to the “special” line. Hartsfield is easily navigated and well marked. It’s just big. Bring your running shoes. Plus, there’s the Budweiser restaurant in concourse A where you can always get a pretty decent cup of coffee, an okay beer, or smoke a cigarette without having to go into the “aquarium”.

Enjoy your trip! Keep us updated on twitter.

I thought Old Style was brewed in LaCrosse (home town of our buddy Public Enema). So – I think you are safe to not be drinking it in Chicago.

I like to drink the local beer, regardless of it’s quality. If I don’t back out of my later Chicago/Milwaukee trip I’ll drink locals then too.

My Canadian friend Tamara tried to remind me that Canadian beers are “stronger.” LOL!

You really wanted to drink an Old Style? What is wrong with you?
Have fun, and let us know if the Molson is really that different in Canada.

Thanks on both accounts. My nerves are settling as I suck down a cold Sam Adams in O’Hare (they didn’t have Old Style). Sure, it’s only 10am but my body is on Easter Time and I’m not the only one drinking.

Paulie, first have a great trip, relax and enjoy yourself. Second, I’ll swing by tonight after work and check your mail box.
