It was actually a manual list in a spreadsheet software application since the program could not list the list automatically in the order in which the poster posted. But I have not kept the list up to date. If I find myself with insomnia sometime, perhaps I'll look into updating it.

In the meantime, welcome to all the new posters in The Lounge™.

I was going to post that I could probably arrange for the Dovster to keep you awake all night so that you can update the list — but I remember that time in South Florida when he was at poolside with at least two women before midnight when he suddenly announced that he was going to bed because he was tired...

...and no, the women did not seem to sneak off to meet him in his hotel room.

I'll take a half day off over no time off, which is what it was at my previous company.

Mr. Kipper should be home in an hour. I'm considering napping until then.

That was 8 1/2 years ago and you still remember it!

And you still haven't discovered who the three other women who did come to my room were.

Was it really that long ago?

It seems like yesterday — perhaps because I actually drove by the location of where that took place yesterday.

I am not sure that the housekeeping staff counts...

Well, 100% of my travel is for pleasure, so, I believe I tend to fly opposite hours compared to business travelers, usually staying over weekends, and coming home late on Mon's or Tuesdays. (Chicago is usually a Tuesday, as I hava monthly overnite Monday "thing" that I do there )

Although I HAVE flown thru DTW a zillion times over the years, I seem to find that lately I'm flying more via MSP / JFK / ATL. As I stated above, my original routing on that particular trip was via JFK, but that's the day with all the NYC / east coast weather cr@p, so I was auto-rerouted via DTW due to both flights being canx.

I took a picture of this month's Sky magazine, but apparently I need to find a new image hosting site. The magazine has a graph of the liquor consumed on Delta flights. Bourbon whiskey is at 7% while vodka is at 47%. It makes me wonder why almost every flight I've been on recently has run out of Woodford.

Maybe you've got the cause/ effect backwards. They run out of Woodford, so people switch to vodka.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess.

The probably board six or fewer Woodford's vs. thirty-six Vodkas on the average flight.

Not hard to see what they would run out of first when you've got a couple discriminating FT'ers on the flight.

I thought it is very un-PC to discriminate.
