Happy New Year & kinda okay Christmas
Of course some of the new year will be happy. In fact, I'd like to think MOST of it will be happy. It will be because that is what I choose.
Some of it will suck no matter what I do.
So here's to the new year.
I'll be in Canada tomorrow night.
I just talked with the girls. They are in Oregon right now visiting family during their Christmas break.
Oh, Christmas in Denver was fine. Boring, but fine. I was able to take the deadhead back to Sacramento as scheduled. However there was some trouble at the gate. I guess I wasn't authorized for a ticket, but when all was said and done...I'll be damned if the computer didn't spit out a first class seat!
So I got to experience my first ever first class treatment. Let me tell you it was SWEET!
Merry Christmas Kathy!
I hadn't eaten all day and by that night I was hungry. I recieved a nice Asian Chicken Salad and warm cookie. Not to mention the drinks and warm nuts! I thought that was just a joke, but you really do get warm nuts.
I was also given a big bag of Starbucks coffee, but dang it...I left it on the plane. Doah!
I got home about 9pm and was able to visit with the girls for a couple hours. I left early the next morning for a 4 day trip and they left for Oregon before I came home. I've had today off and starting a 3 day trip tomorrow.
Was that confusing? Sorry.
Today I bought myself a new wool coat and a samsonite crew bag. I sure hope the bag fits in my FA closet.

Just so all of you know, "Theotheranonymous" was right. Kathy is dating a pilot and is spending New Year's Eve with him tonight in Canada and in Omaha tomorrow. I just found out today. Lucky me. She has been lying about it for a month. Wish them a good trip. I'm sure they will have a blast at midnight.

I am afraid, Mr. Brydon, that was the "other" anonymous that wrote, "I bet you date a pilot." I stated what could be a possibility and everyone else anted up with their "perspective" that I, too, was out of line. Antagonist me.
She has endured the hardship of your drinking over the course of several months/years. Your drinking became her pain and the divorce was a means to end that pain for good. Mr. Brydon, you saying you will quit drinking if she did that or did this was a broken record to her. She stuck by you as long as she could. She stood by you. She defended you. She got you out of the hospital. What have you done for her except drink yourself into a drunken stupor and drive off somewhere and wind up in a hospital! Smooth move, Ex Lax! She got tired of hearing the same old story, time after time after time. You never upheld your end of the bargain. That makes you a prevaricator!
Dating? How do WE know that? Is this some alcohol-induced scheme to manipulate us readers of your wife's blog into feeling sorry for you while you sit at home sulking with probably a bottle in your hand while she is out having a great time ushering in the new year? Sorry, Mr. Brydon, it didn't work with Kathy and it sure isn't going to work with us.
My only hope for you, sir, is for you to quit drinking. It doesn't look like it is going to happen.
Mr. Brydon do be careful by posting on her blog. Cyber-stalking is a prison sentence you don't want. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. And your post here is considered "cyber-stalking."
Spending the night alone, Mr. Brydon? Isolation can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It is called "me time" and it appears you will having a lot of those "times" from here on. You have the power to choose what you do. May you have a Happy New Year, Mr. Brydon.

First of all, she will comment very soon that she IS seeing someone from work. Secondly, I don't give a shit about what someone who won't even the guts put his/her name on a post has to say about me. If you were Duf, DJS or someone I respected I might take you seriously. But since you are obviously just some loser internet geek, go to HELL!!! Thirdly, our problems go WAY beyond drinking (of which I did none of for 10 years until we started growing apart). You have no clue as to what her past holds or to what her ambitions are. As for us, we will do better in life than you will, that I guarantee. Our family will come through this just fine and we will still be friends. Yes, we had a big fight this morning (words only!) but are now on speaking terms, even though she is on her way to Canada. For those of you who care about us, please comment. For those who hide behide a mask, please stay away. We don't need any of your "help"!
2:54 PM
Point...Counterpoint...Mr. Brydon you...
Have a way with words. So eloquent.
"...But since you are obviously just some loser internet geek, go to HELL!!!"...Internet is spelled with a capital "I." Geek is not a proper noun so it is okay to go with lower case on this one. Go to hell? Mr. Brydon, do you feel anger? Resentment? Remorse? While you are sitting on your "pity pot" make sure you have enough tissue to blow from both ends.
Geek? Moi? That makes both of us! Touche, Mr. Brydon! What next...mother f*****? Please, talk dirty to me, Mr. Brydon. I am all sight.
"Secondly, I don't give a shit about what someone who won't even the guts put his/her name on a post has to say about me."...What happened to your blog, Mr. Brydon? I will post on your blog like anyone else's. Why not open up your blog again, Mr. Brydon, so we can continue our exchange of dialogue on YOUR blog rather than on your EX-WIFE'S, who is probably seeing the latest developments as we cordially converse with one another!
"You have no clue as to what her past holds or to what her ambitions are."...Hmm, how far back does this blog go? I only know as far as this blog tells me. I have seen posts of happier times. Anniversaries. High school pictures. Friends. Parties. Disneyland. Birthdays. Caribbean. Hawaii. Weddings. Milestones. Remodeling. Hiking. Smiles. Laughter. I see a picture of her at the flight simulator. I see pain in that smile. Anguish. Frustration. Hopelessness. But, the courage to continue on.
"For those who hide behide a mask, please stay away. We don't need any of your 'help'!"...Yes, I hide behind a cloak of anonymity while you hide behind a bottle. Your salvation comes in a bottle. You, Mr. Brydon, need help..serious help. Appears you are running out of options. Time is running out for you, My Friend.
"As for us, we will do better in life than you will, that I guarantee"...Yes, you're right, Mr. Brydon, you do have a better life. Keep drinking and will die before your prime.
"If you were Duf, DJS or someone I respected I might take you seriously."...I don't need your respect, Mr. Brydon. Question is, do they respect you? They know your story, too!
"For those of you who care about us, please comment."...Some of us don't care about you anymore, Mr. Brydon.
Happy New Year, Mr. Brydon! We anonymoust Internet geeks in blog land will be thinking pleasant thoughts of you. Smile, God loves you.

Errors in grammer to not concern me Anon. As for my educational level, it is far higher than you will ever reach. As for the amount of money I have, lets just say my parents have millions and I make nearly $100,000 a year and own a house worth around $500,000. My health is good, I don't drink daily as you might think (in fact, I'd bet you jerk-off many more times a week than I drink). You want to keep on going, go right ahead. I have nothing to do and no where to go for the next day or so (kind of sounds like your every day life doesn't it)? BTW-I think there is a Star Trek convention going on in your town right now. Are you dresses as Kirk yet???
4:11 PM
I hope the girls' visit to Oregon is a great one! JD and I are sorry we can't all be together to celebrate the holidays with everyone. He and I both have bad cold/viruses right now. Sierra's stay in the hospital really stressed us out, obviously. But not to worry!...Life sucks, but God is good. I have no strength or words of to offer you right now, except I love you----C
4:29 PM
"Errors in grammer to not concern me Anon."...Grammer?
"As for my educational level, it is far higher than you will ever reach."...I have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Science. I have a JD. Cyberlaw is my forte.
"As for the amount of money I have, lets just say my parents have millions and I make nearly $100,000 a year and own a house worth around $500,000."...Right, sure you do. All that money isn't buying you happiness right now ist it? That house won't be yours for long. Speaking of house, are you still living at your domicile? Lucky man you! You could be at a hotel looking for a place to live!
"My health is good..."...I pray for you, My Friend, that what you say is true. I am not your doctor.
"...I don't drink daily as you might think..."...Bet you are drinking right now. Loathing in self-pity this night of nights all alone in the house with the television on and no one, no one, to talk to except members of YOUR family.
"...(in fact, I'd bet you jerk-off many more times a week than I drink)."...YOU WIN THE BET! 40 times a day! Come on, you can be more original than that, Mr. Brydon!
"You want to keep on going, go right ahead."...Thank you, Mr. Brydon, I will. I like our conversations.
"I have nothing to do and no where to go for the next day or so (kind of sounds like your every day life doesn't it)?"...Good. Don't drink and drive. 502s are not good.
"BTW-I think there is a Star Trek convention going on in your town right now. Are you dresses as Kirk yet???"...Is that "your dresses" or "you dressed" as Kirk? Running out of intellectual things to say, Mr. Brydon?
Fore! Your shot, Mr. Brydon!

You have become quite boring to me. All you can do it quote things I have said back to me. Be original for once. BTW-I have friends and relatives I am talking with today, including Kathy's siblings. As for all the money I have and I stand to gain from my parents someday, it will buy me PLENTY of happiness and provide for my children for as long as they live. I am still young, good looking, have a GREAT job and have much more to offer women than do most men. The only thing I don't have right now is the total love of my wife. But then again, no one does. Mr. Pilot is only a "friend". In fact, I called him and we spoke for about 20 minutes today. Seemed like a nice guy (kind of old though). I still have time and I plan to use it wisely. As for your assumption that I am sitting here drinking, you are wrong. I am watching football with my dog, crying off and on, wishing my family were home with me tonight.

"You have become quite boring to me. All you can do it quote things I have said back to me. Be original for once."...Original? YOU ARE BORING!
"BTW-I have friends and relatives I am talking with today, including Kathy's siblings."...We out here in cyberland have heard/seen this before!
"As for all the money I have and I stand to gain from my parents someday, it will buy me PLENTY of happiness and provide for my children for as long as they live."...Parents don't live forever.
"I am still young, good looking, have a GREAT job and have much more to offer women than do most men."...But you are still a DRUNK with a well-paying job. Soliciting to other women? What a John! So you had an affair, too? The truth be written. Who is the liar now, Mr. Brydon?
"The only thing I don't have right now is the total love of my wife. But then again, no one does."...Uh oh...here we go again with the whoa is me pity pot me. I have been married for 35 years. 5 great kids. Great times, bad times. I used to drink when we were first dating and married. Then came the first child. Priorities changed. You have a whole life in front of you but you choose to drink. Sorry, pal, but you get no sympathy from me.
"Mr. Pilot is only a "friend". In fact, I called him and we spoke for about 20 minutes today. Seemed like a nice guy (kind of old though)."...BULL! You expect us to believe that you talked to MR. PILOT! BULL again. You play poker Mr. Brydon? Your bluffing. I call.
"I still have time and I plan to use it wisely."...Tick tock tick tock. Say that to your liver and your brain, Mr. Brydon!
"I still have time and I plan to use it wisely."...We are sure you do. How's the pity pot?
As for your assumption that I am sitting here drinking, you are wrong."...Yes, I hope I am wrong in that assumption. I pray you are not drinking.
"...I am watching football with my dog, crying off and on,"...How does it feel, Mr. Brydon? If dogs could speak their minds about their masters? And you speak of my "masturbation?" You are "masturbating" with your dog...How does that feel to talk to "someone" who cannot respond? Have you fed your dog? Cry a good cry, Mr. Brydon. Sob until you cannot breathe. Cry a good cry on your me time. Think about what could have been if you had chosen the right path. What happened with you was because of you! You get no pity from me. Choose to give it all up...die or LIVE!
"wishing my family were home with me tonight."...they wish, too, but it is up to you but it is too late. Accept the consequences. There is no turning back! Either you choose TO DRINK or NOT TO DRINK. Why am I preaching to you? You don't listen to your wife, your kids or your family? So why listen to some Internet geek. God's speed.
THAT IS YOUR CHOICE, MR. BRYDON!
You play poker, Mr. Brydon? I call your bluff...we call your bluff!
Talk, Mr. Brydon...I shall listen. I am the only friend you got right now. Open up your blog again! Deal with it! If you do, expect no mercy from me. You will "hate" me for the rest of your life. If I accomplish that, then I would served my purpose in life.
I decided to shorten my "signature" to read "TOA."
Better than you being "DOA"...Drunk On my Ass!
"theotheranonymous" aka TOA.

Yay for warm nuts...

6:31 PM
I'm done with you TOA, and yes, I did call Mr. Pilot. But you and the other cyberjunkies don't need to know anymore. This conversation is over.
6:34 PM
My apologies, Kathy!
I have ridden First Class a lot (love MLB contracts). Wow, talk about pampering (well, in my days anyways). But I have given up my seat many times to a family with a sick child or an elderly person. Does my heart good to sit in coach and see them have the flight of their lives!
Being an FA is probably an unappreciative career at times. Think not! You have touched the lives of many, including Judith! You are Alpha One with wings.
Fly on!

What happened, Tough Guy? Easy cop out? Cannot face reality? Criticism? Too drunk to respond? Am I pissing you off? Yeah, liquid courage. Open up your blog again, Mr. Brydon! Are you afraid of the "mirror?" Don't like what you see? Then do something about it, you drunk!
You are not done? You are scared of the truth! Is the pity pot in the garage or in you lavish backyard? How cold is the air? How cold is you conscience? You can run but you WILL NOT hide from me.
Yeah...Macho Man! How's the dog?
6:51 PM
I'd rather have my dog than your wife, but then again who wouldn't. Why don't you leave you e-mail or phone number and I'll gladly call, e-mail. BTW-I'm still married to a flight attendant. Why don't you send me you address and I'll fly out there for free and discuss this man to whatever the hell you are!
8:37 PM
Um...happy new year?
And I was wondering how Kathy got so many comments!
Brydon and TOA - come to Minnesota. I'll referee the fight and keep it fair.
Keep it fair.
Fair.
7:52 PM
