So recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the movie “The Neverending Story.” I think about Falcor and flying through the fog whenever it takes over the bay area. I also think about Falcor as I’m in an airplane coasting over the mountains (and I sing the theme song to myself in my head). With all of this thought about such a masterpiece of a film I’ve come up with a great new business: an airline branded “Falcor.” The interior of the planes would be all 80’s and only people dressed like the guy who sings The Neverending Story’s theme song would be allowed on the flight:
P.S. If for some reason you decide to steal my business idea and make it a reality I don’t expect much in return except some bit of acknowledgement (and maybe free flights for the rest of my life).

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
