Winter 2014 January 29 Wednesday

5 degrees this morning.  No wind, so wasn't really that bad. Did't ride bike outside (due to hand injuryI), but did go to gym for stationary bike.  Felt good, I missed it.
For some reason ATC (Around the Clock) fitness center insists on playing this horrible music with some dh's who have the maturity of a 4 year old (and that is giving them some).  I can block it out when I am exercising with my music, but when I take a shower there, I have to list to this blather I really get angry.  I'm not sure if I'm angry I have to listen to it, or that such junk even exists.  The logical thing is to just take my shower at home, but that really isn't the point.  LA Fitness is coming that that may be the answer.
Speaking of airlines, Sunday, I checked airfares from Memphis to Denver.  The lowest fare was $409 (Which I thought was great!), with Delta at around $650 and Southwest Air at about $850, which said a lot about Delta and SWA.
Last night I checked, and the lowest price was $339 (I didn't bother to check Delta) and SWA was $115 up and $115 back for a total round trip of $230!)  I grabbed a ticked for myself and tried to buy Aliene one.  SURPRISE, the ticket is now $335 ONE WAY, a $220 increase in one minute!  I called Southwest Air and they politely told me that I had apparently got the last ticket and they could care less about my opinion on this!
This morning, the lowest fare is not $235 round trip  (American, and Frontier).  GO FRONTIER!!  Apparently that is the reason the fares are so low, Frontier just entered the Memphis/Denver market!  (I just checked Delta fares, they are $1,274 or something like that, or over $1,000 over the lowest fare!  If I owned Delta, I think I would sell it! Delta's greed is unbelievable.  
Enough ranting for the day.  In spite of the cold, looks like a nice day.  I have an appointment to look at my tooth (or teeth) implant and than we will set the big day when the "posts" will be implanted.  I will be glad when the process will be completed.  (After the posts heal, I need to go back to my regular dentist for the final part, which is basically two crowns on the posts.)
Change is coming.  One thing about my current status is I know something is going to change so I had better get in front of it and make sure it is a positive change.
