We need a headcount by the end of February so we may make the appropriate purchases.

Dude. There's still ice and snow on the ground. Jeeeez - did you not see the pics of Dicky-boy Cheney in his green parka and snowcap on the front of the Washington Post Style section today? Hmmmmm.?


Once the Cherry Blossoms have come out, frozen and fallen, and then another four weeks have gone by, then and only then will a true Washingtonian begin to think about baseball.

I hate it when this happens...Still going to try to make it, but I have multiple appointments for tomorrow. If I do make it I will be we and we will be 2. La Boocha will probably be along.

I have to work so I won't be able to make it today
btw, Rio Grande is great at accommodating large groups. I've taken 25+ there before. They usually just want to wait until the entire group is there before adding you to waiting list - if there is one. Have a great time!

Tazi: No comment from me.

I will be there along with Mrs. MileageAddict and MileageAddictJunior. Who is picking up Glen and Lynn from the Sheraton???? If I need to pick them up, I can do it but it will make for a tight squeeze for all 5 of us.... anyone?

I believe Pranu is picking them up.

Okay....I'll assume Pranu will pick them up. Darn, I was gonna pick them up in the tractor....

Yes Pranu is picking them up

But we can all do joyrides in the tractor later!

Fun lunch yesterday! Thank you all for seeing Glen and Lynn off to Australia.

By the way, I thought the tortilla soup at the Rio Grande was about as good as I have ever tasted; the rest of the meal was kind of average. However, the company was excellent. ^

Agreed! It was great to finally put some faces with names (FT handles) after so many years and near misses! Cheers!

Thanks to the 10 or so DC folks who ventured out on a Saturday, when all sensible folks should have been shopping and doing 'weekend' things.

Great to see new and familiar faces among y'all. Nice meeting another big UA flyer Yogi for the first time - and thanks for the offer to collect us on way thru - but no laptop, so only just read it now.

Tazi appeared cleverly disguised as geo1005 ... but that didn't fool us. No-one has seen THEM in the same room together, that's for sure.

Suzi1K kindly met us at airport 9pm Friday for a drink at Sheraton, and she hoped to make it along, but was on an Asia flight even earlier than ours.

Special thanks to Pranu for swinging by and picking us up, and to MileageAddict for firing up that John Deere to get us back to hotel for a quick shower and freshen-up (love that Starwood late check-out guarantee!) and for getting us to airport in perfect time.

Shame we needed to leave when we did, and the 2� hours went pretty fast. ^

<flails her arms wildly> But I had to work! And the only person I could have possibly switched with is currently being a bit hostile towards me.

Bummer... sorry I missed you all, esp. since it would have been nice to compare recent PR "trip reports" with Oz. I wasn't in town, though. My hubby (still getting used to saying that! ) and I decided to drive up to CT/MA for the weekend and didn't return until late last night. But you know.... at least we returned, and that's good. Because somewhere outside of Baltimore we barely missed being in what would have been an awful accident. A speeding car trying to brake at the last minute to avoid hitting a much slower car in front of it on the far right lane spun out of control, turning counterclockwise across all lanes and coming toward us into our lane. I'm not sure how we got out of it unscathed, but we did. It was awful... I've never been so close to being in such a bad accident.

I'm feeling very lucky to be alive today and able to check in on my FT friends! I hope to see you all at any February events.

?????

Tick tock tick tock on February. Any suggestions?

I'm in town 2/16 - 2/21 and 2/25 - 2/28. Any of those days would be fine

(PS: I live about 1.33 miles away from Sweetwater, good choice!)
