I did the airline mag crossword in an hour, looked through the skymall catalog, and finally looked at the dude who was in similar straights with a desperate face and said, "Do you want to play cards?"

But maybe these folks have been busy all day and just want a chance to relax.Adam Villanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694072629634740634noreply@blogger.com
