Jim Herring |
Since 1997, Jim has worked in various departments (Customer Relations; Charitable Giving; and currently, Culture Services) for the greatest airline on the planet (Southwest, of course!). He’s had countless FUN experiences on the job, but playing Austin Powers in a Halloween show at Southwest Headquarters really stands out as a favorite. Sounds funny, but it’s not unusual for Jim to mention that he’s one of the luckiest guys he knows. Jim is excited by opportunities to travel and especially enjoys Europe, where a trip to Austria turned into six of his life’s most exciting months. He enjoys being surrounded by books, coffee, and music so much that he works a night or two each week at a local Barnes & Noble. Without a doubt, his greatest passion is listening to music (recorded/live). He has an immeasurable appreciation for great songs, great lyrics, and great musicianship, and he’s one of the biggest Beatles (Yeah, yeah, yeah) fans around. | |

As Thanksgiving approaches, I've been reflecting on my own "Thanksgiving List," and if I were to reveal all the pe Categories: Southwest Culture Nov 26, 2008 |

Well, get ready for a brand-new Beatles-related release tomorrow (October 21)! All Together Now is the title of a DVD chronicling the inspiration for and creation of LOVE by Cirque du Solei |

My Heroes |
|
I suppose most of us have a hero or heroes of some sort, people who make a positive impact and inspire us—sports figures, actors, musicians, teachers, family members…the list goes on. I have heroes in every category listed above, but I hold a special place in my heart for a group of children and teenagers I know who are truly braver and stronger than anyone I've ever met. |

"The Waterboy" |
|
No, I’m not referring to Bobby Boucher from the Adam Sandler movie of the same name—he makes sure (in a very comical way) that his college football team is sufficiently hydrated until joining the team and discovering a unique (and hilarious) approach to tackling. I'm referring to me, and I'm a waterboy of a different sort—I water flowers and plants as a parttime job. Okay, let me ex |
