For those coming in to town this weekend, just a minor weather warning. Someone forgot to tell mother nature about this thing called Fall, so we jumped from summer straight into winter over the weekend. Over the last couple nights, there has even been snow up in the mountains.
The high yesterday was 58, but the high today is supposed to be in the 70's. That means, come prepared with layers! It could get up into the 90s this weekend, and at night it could get down into the 40s.

Life is like a bungee cord for me right now... I'm going, I'm not going... I'm going! I'll try to swing by the Bellagio tonight, and hope to make dinner tomorrow night as well.

Is there a plan for lunch? Still 1:30? Where are folks meeting up? I sent Nate email, but thought this would be easier.
And now time for a power nap, followed by more power driving and finally flying

I'd like to thank UAPremierExec for organizing this event. I enjoyed meeting old friends and making new ones. Dinner at Mon Ami Gabi was great - loved the Strawberries Briand. I'm glad we were able to have a private room. I was finally able to meet Randy Petersen and I'd also like to thank him for his generosity.

btw, 1000 posts.
thanks to those who could attend. I realize that some bad weather prevented about 3 people from coming, and I almost became one of those stuck @ ORD. I'm putting a trip report up, so get some popcorn out...
jongar, about the Carnival Rep, she had a blast. no apologies needed... I have a feeling that she will be coming here more often now!
Randy - was great to finally meet ya!
Rita Rudner gang: I was able to use a line today on my roomie "And that's why I killed him.."
Btw, I did not make the 710AM Frontier flight.. they left 18 people at the gate, and I would have been one of them.. However, I did take the 1250P National flight to MIA home. If I keep this up, UA may loose my business forever! These crews are some of the BEST in the industry....

I wished that I could have come to Vegas. It's that d@mn work thing that gets in the way. 
Where are the pictures?
I met Jongar on Friday night. He was teaching my 11 year old son about women. My son just put his hands over his face and peeked through between his fingers like you do when you go to a scary movie. It was hilarious.
