Violist, who has just gotten over the shock
of realizing that he needs 3 (three) one-day
mileage runs at the end of this year, is going
to avoid that necessity for '04 and will be there.
The aroma of chilli crab in his mind's nose
has absolutely nothing to do with it.
The lure of sharing a meal with SD1K again
(not to mention other friends new or old)
has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately, he's had his sweet spots
spoken for (having a girlfriend accompanying
him frequently these days does tend to eat
up those certs), so he will be sitting 22884
miles in coach - but don't cry for him, because
he has exit and/or bulkhead on all segments.

See you all at the RCC if not before!

Cheers,
Michael
who, with work being slow in the first couple
months of the year, has booked 49594 miles in
the first 6 weeks of 2004 and who doubted the
guy whom he sat next to a couple weeks ago when
he said he flew a million miles a year, but,
you know what, it really does seem possible.
