Well it has finally happened to me. After 5 years of Travel, the weather got the best of me. I am stuck in St. Louis at the Marriott Airport. American Airlines cancelled my morning flight and rebooked me on a flight on Saturday. I contacted our travel department and the could get me out tonight on another airline and then connect me through Charlotte. The layover is 35 minutes. No thank you. I am not going to run through another airport and barely make a flight. Making the connection is contingent upon getting out of St. Louis on time, and with the weather I am not going to risk that at all. I’m stuck here but I have concierge level access and therefore can use the internet in the concierge room. So I am going to make use of it. At least until noon when I will get Internet in my room for the day. Maybe I’ll make some additions to the new BenSpark aStore.

Why? Because it is just such a twisted idea but done with such reverence to the Christmas spirit. Billy Idol’s christmas album Happy Holidays is one of those that must go in my Christmas Collection. Give a listen at his myspace site. Actually you can hear one song, Oh Christmas tree, on the same player as you can hear Eve of Destruction but the truly remarkable part are the videos that are on the site of Happy Holiday (An Idol tune), White Christmas and the one that cracked me up, Jingle Bell Rock. www.myspace.com/billyidol
