Starting Wednesday, November 9th thru at least Monday, November 13th I will be disappearing for awhile.

Before I go on THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING ON FLYERTALK OR SOMEONE ATTACKING ME. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT BEEN ATTACKED FOR AWHILE!

AND I PROMISED I WILL NOT LEAVE THIS BOARD UNLESS RANDY REQUESTS THAT I DO.

I am also telling you all of this because a few times I was off the boards some of you were worried something was wrong. That means more to me than any comped United 1K status or all the miles and the money in the world!

I try to take a personal trip alone at least once a year, to take time to reflect, think about the people in my life, where I've been, where I am going and what changes I need to make.

And, sorry folks I am NOT going to DUSSELDORF! I have reasons for not going I won't bother to explain here. There will be other Flyertalk parties and I suspect I will be Switzerland bound next fall.

I will see some of you Thursday at Parsippany, some this weekend in San Antonio, and some of you on LIVE CHAT.

Be well, have a beer for me and I will see you all soon.

HAVE A MEOWY DAY!
