Stuck in Chicago
Should have been simple, right? A one day conference in Chicago.
Well, it actually all started a couple of months ago when I heard that the National NAGEELA conference would be taking place in New York City. Naturally, as very organized people, we immediately booked flights. It was only after the flights were arranged that the location of the conference was switched to Chicago.
Ok. One strike, but we changed our tickets and now we're heading to Chicago. The flights from Las Vegas into the windy city are sparse, and we ended up scheduled on a 12:50AM flight. After we get to the airport, we find out that the flight is delayed until 2:30.
Great.
We finally get into Chicago, where it's 7 degrees, as opposed to the 70 in Las Vegas. We swing by the place the meetings are going to be held and immediately begin ingesting large amounts of caffeine.
The meetings went pretty well. We made all kinds of great plans, had wonderful food, and I'm imbibed more caffeine.
Then our flight got delayed again. And again. Turns out theres this website where you can actually track your plane's progress in the air, as well as how many bags of peanuts each passenger managed to grab while the flight attendant wasn't looking. The wonders of technology!
This website told me that our plane was still somewhere over Georgia, and would depart Chicago at 11:59pm. Great, that means I wouldn't be home until at least 1am. Well, what can you do? I get to the airport at 11:00, and it completely dead. Nobody behind the airline counter.
We ask the guy mopping what's going on, and he tells us that the security checkpoint is closed.
"well how am I supposed to get to my flight?"
"you're not."
"but we just called the airline, and after a while of trying to find someone who spoke English, they told us the plane is still on the ground!"
"you're also on the ground and you are going to stay that way."
"Is there a single security checkpoint in this airport that is open?"
Now you might be thinking, "This is Chicago O'Hare, the busiest airport in the world... How is it possible that there aren't any open checkpoints?"
No idea.
It's the next day, and I'm still in Chicago. Naturally, the airline put us on the NEXT flight out, which is 24 hours later. At least they have good burgers here.
I'll keep on updating...

Each year, as I serve the head of a fish as part of the traditional ROsh Hashana meal, there is always someone too grossed out by the thought of actually looking at a real fish (albeit a dead one).
Well you aint seen nuttin till you check out this article from reuters...
You just can't make this stuff up!

Re-Onion 2010
Thanks to Corky for sending me these pics from the reunion. Sorry I missed it this year.
Think maybe you're overdressed? Just a tad? What do you think this is? A paintball field?
When ice skating gets too tiring, you can always fall back on the good ol' Canadian pasttime of pressing your face against the glass.
That picture might look cooler on the beach, but...
I don't have a snappy cation for this one. Oh well, can't win 'em all.
Now I really feel bad that I missed it. Looks like everybody was there. Hope you had a blast! I hope I'll be able to come visit CNB this summer for a day or two.

We always new that New Yorkers were rude, especially in the car. According to AAA, New York City has the rudest drivers! Go NY! I never believed that they'd actually come up with a logic to justify it being good.
Here's an article from AAA NY magazine explaining why it's UNSAFE to be nice.
Good to keep in mind.

UTAH, here we come!
So while all of you were vacationing in your beautiful sub- zero conditions, I've been out here suffering in our inclement 85-90 degree days. Aside from that , here's big news!
I spent yesterday up in Utah (the most beautiful state, btw) checking out a new campus for Nageela West!
Yup, that's right. Once we finalize the deal I'll let you know more, but all I can tell you now is I've never seen a camp with nicer facilities than we will have! The area is beautiful, the rooms are incredible! NAGEELAWESTROCKS!
I'll post some pics (maybe) if I can find my camera.

Sukkos party pics
Looks like the Jersey boys had an awesome time at the Sukkos party! Wish I could have been there, but I couldn't find my winter coat.
He looks way too happy. Any cops around?
Luckily, Nageela staff members are very mature- parents, you can rest easy now!
As I was saying
He's up to something. I know it, he is...
You're supposed to eat the dog, not the finger...
Fetch, Fido!
How do you pitch to a strike zone like that?
Thanks to Corky for the pics.
