Same here...someday when I live in my own house (i.e. a non-shared edifice), I'll get a real one, I suppose.

I'm a little concerned that this will be my first year without corned beef...it seems like overkill to make it for just myself (do they sell smaller ones?)...

I did the opposite - I was given the second rental car key for a weekend and then couldn't find it as we were rushing to the airport. Oh, and by "key" I mean "Prius fob." Somehow, the guy didn't ask for the second one, or charge us for it. Talk about a huge celestial get-out-of-jail-free card. :-:

(When I found the fob...in the side pocket of my suitcase ...a week later, we just mailed it back to Hertz and hoped that it would get matched up again with the right car.)

Yeah. Seriously. I need to ramp up the mile/point earning in a major way, particularly in the next 6-12 months...
