Flying always reminds me that it’s time for another Sky Mall Quarterly! There is never a shortage of crazy insane somewhat useful products in the free Sky Mall Magazine that you get in the seat back pocket in front of you.

My dad. My grandpa. My sister-in-law. My brother-in-law. My uncles. My cousins. My friends. Your friends. Your family. To all who have served. Thank you. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Do you remember my big bad Marine brother-in-law who went off to Afghanistan last year, for whom I solicited many a thought and prayer from you over? I give you exhibit A. Full [...]
