cast of characters

Lani and Ann are the Weaver sisters!

Lani's household consists of Steve, the long-suffering coding genius and computer security guru; Jim, Lani's tall, red-headed and handsome son, currently finishing his second year of college; Hunter, Jasmine, Himari, Chenault, the miraculous Onyx and the even more miraculous Resk, undisputed feline rulers of the house; and Jesse, the man-hating green-cheeked conure.

Ann's household consists of Don, who is not just a computer genius but a pilot, a builder, and a damn good father; their son Steve, the marathon-running, college-bound, funniest teenager I know; and wonder dog Tater.

Other family members are Laurie, Lani's beautiful daughter who teaches at elementary levels; her handsome son Alex, aka Alexander the Great; Mary and Bo, a/k/a Mom and Dad, and Bud and Ann, Steve's patient and wonderful parents.

But they love you! (posted by Ann)

I know you've had a hard few weeks, but I'll tell you that your customers are appreciative of what you do. You won't brag on yourself, so I'll brag on you. I'm going to share a really nice e-mail that you got (and shared with Mom, thus making sure that everyone in the world knows about it).

> It is clear that this crew is a fine example of all that

Bah. Last time I share crap with you guys! I won't delete it but I did quick X out names and delete email addresses and phone numbers, lest the wrath of those people whose private info was posted come down hard on my head.

I've flown with some good crews, but that particular one was the best. We were all on the same page during that entire hideous trip, and all we did that particular night was what was right. We acted the way we'd like the crew to act if we were passengers on a plane in that situation. It isn't (or shouldn't be) anything special to treat your passengers like real human beings and care about them. It's just sad that apparently it's unusual enough to merit a letter.

Oops. Sorry I was in a hurry and didn't think about the personal information - glad you caught it and deleted it!

I won't always post stuff like that, but seriously, it was just the right thing to do after your rant blog.
