Catman,

I saved the section of the paper and will send it to you if you want it. Oh yeah, did you get the picture of the 60 pound cat that I sent via email?

I've also got a copy of the paper if anyone missed it and would like for me to snail mail it to them.

OMNI: Mileage Addict! Thanks for the article. The USA Today's up here disappear as fast as our batch of "Village Voices" on Wednesday. If you can send it, I'd appreciate it.

That cat was 60 pounds!!! WOW!!! Only a THIRD of Sir Eddie's weight. Yet he looks Healthy! I've saved the pix, thanks!

Back to topic: In my mind: We are all stars because we are friends. Who needs celebrity?
Trust me, it's overrated.

Randy, Redrocks was cited for the WSJ article about safety in Rio. We had a little Party in Brazil there. He is too shy to toot his own horn but we should recognize another of our own.

You know, I read the article, not realizing GK was GK and thought, "Gee, I wonder if any of these people are FT'ers." It's pretty neat to see articles on an FT'er in various papers.

I admire GK for his sacrifice and his work.

That would NOT be me! I may LOVE to Travel but sometimes it feels good to come home to be greetd by two purring and loving "children." IT's also nice have a home base to escape from the workaday work and friends close by to turn to if I need some advice or just a hug. As Judy Garland said "There's no place like home."

Even if it's organized clutter like my place!

Just my IMHO, OK?

GK: keep in mind that you will always have a friend in Jersey City if you ever need one.

So I was waiting to get on my SNA-DEN and a guy notices my 1k bag tag on my carry-on and strikes up a conversation about frequent travel. He was premier last year but nothing this year.

Point is, he goes: "There is this one guy who made a million miles by eating pudding cups." For a baseline point of reference, I asked him if he knew who Randy Petersen was or if he had ever heard that name. Nope. Point being, PuddingGuy is now more famous than Randy
