My parents have this friend, his name is Mark Kruse (pronounced “Cruise-ee”). He is an incredibly likable guy, who also happens to be incredibly persuasive.

The bad news? My luggage is not. A woman cut in front of me in line to “check one more bag, I’m sorry” and it looks like they processed her bag and then put her routing tags on mine as well. So [...]
