Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

Today I am grateful for...

• Having found a really good PCP. (She's an ARNP, based at the UW Northgate neighborhood clinic.)
• The ongoing sequence of negative COVID test results in the household.
• Fun with AI-generated graphics.
• Have I mentioned rabbit holes lately? Rabbit holes.
• Not having been the genius who decided to base an ad for Delta Air Lines on The Odyssey, the story of a man who spends ten years of mishaps and misadventures trying to get home.

Whoa, that ad... thank you for the laugh! Was nobody in marketing familiar with the story? I mean, it's stunningly apropos for modern air travel, but I don't think that's what they meant. :-)

That ad reminds me of Microsoft's commercial using Mozart's "Confutatis maledictis" (the damned are confounded) and ending with the question "Where do you want to go today?"

Sometimes I wonder whether things like these are put in deliberately, just to increase exposure. I certainly wouldn't have seen the Delta ad or the Microsoft ad had it not been for people poking fun at them.
