| I started with Southwest as a Reservations Sales Agent at the Dallas Reservations Center in 1991. I think Reservations Employees are always the best informed of new systems, procedures, and the goings on of all Employee groups. We have to know things to answer the public's questions. In college, I began DJing at a local watering hole. I had a knack for it and it was good for about 11 years and put me through the final years of school and paid the bills and taught me a trade that was completely untransferable. Luckily, I found a home at Southwest and worked my way into Employee Communications, starting as a representative and becoming a graphic designer and then working on the company intranet where I am today. Being a podcaster, people probably think I was one of those never-shut-up club DJs, but they are wrong. I rarely talked on the mic figuring that if people wanted to hear a DJ talk, they would turn on a radio. My first podcast was about a hobby of mine--chili. Thus proving that there is a podcast on virtually every topic. Actually it is a lot of fun and is about competitive chili cooking and it dates back to July of 2005. A long time in podcast years. Lately, I have fallen behind on that one since I have been doing Red Belly Radio but trust me, a lot more people hear this one. Perhaps my biggest claims to fame are my 17th place in chili at the 2006 Terlingua International Chili Championship. Cooler than it might sound, there were 335 cooks that day and every one of them had to qualify to get there. And there is my Alamo Heights Series of Poker Championship. Some buddies of mine started playing cards in one of the guys’ back room. After 15 short years, I won. It puts me in a rather exclusive club and I still get recognized in San Antonio (well when I am in the right zip code—okay, in the right house.) | |

I've Looked at Fireworks From Both Sides Now |
 |
I feel a personal best comment record coming on! Do you know that song that everybody erroneously thinks the name is I’ve Looked at Clouds and that Judy Collins wrote? I’ve been humming that song today—which is really named Both Sides Now and was written by Joni Mitchell—as I recorded this episode of Red Belly Radio. Why you may ask?

Boeing Burgers and Beer Birthday Bash |

Well. Leah is part right. Pumpkin Center is the name of three small communities in Oklahoma. The largest is in Comanche County, Oklahoma; however, none are incorporated.

And, Yes EJ, I will announce the winner of the tagline contest on the next episode of Red Belly Radio.
For years now, Boeing has thrown us a birthday party. It has been dubbed “BBBBB” for Boeing Burgers and Beer Birthday Bash. As you might expect, there are Burgers, Beer, it is in a hangar so there are Boeings nearby, and it is around Southwest Airlines’ Birthday.

Water Balloons Are Good, Right? |
|
That high-speed video of a water balloon bursting is the coolest thing I have ever seen! I grew up in a small town ... REALLY SMALL. There were about 1,600 people. The good thing about small towns is that everyone knows you. That can also be the bad thing! As a small boy, I remember when we still had phones without dials (much less buttons). You simply picked up the receiver and waited for the operator to say, "Number please." Categories: Uncategorized Jun 24, 2008 |
