Here's a sport for champions...
Thoughts on streaking...
Sometimes streaking isn't just a disruption at sporting events.
Sometimes streaking is what we do to bust out of a running rut.
Sometimes streaking is a sport in its own right.
And more body image issues...

It's a tough week to be a frequent flier...
Between needles found in airplane food, a crazy passenger tirade, and three planes trying to fill the same space (at the same time) over Reagan National airport, the air travel headlines this week were enough to make me reconsider* my goal to join the million mile club.

So that's what they do with the snow globes...
The Wall St. Journal reports on what happens to all the pairs of nail clippers that get left behind at the TSA checkpoint.
One regularly-confiscated item made my head spin: dumbells.
Which leads me to wonder:
Why would anyone pack hand weights on a flight?
Don't they know about body weight exercises? Haven't heard of those travel weights you fill with water? Why would anyone want to carry extra pounds in their luggage?
Quote(s) of the week:
"“I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.”
Mark Twain
“It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression, 'As pretty as an airport'.”
Douglas Adams
Happy Friday, friends!
What's the craziest thing you've ever put in your luggage?
