I'll let you have the honors :D

United decided that I shouldn't get to have steak last night, but thank you for hanging around long enough for me to show up for a cup of coffee. And the look on my colleague's face on the drive to IND when I told them that Cheryl had called gate D10 for me to get an accurate estimate of the departure time, that was priceless.



Well, gee, I guess I know my ranking.... :)

It doesn't always....but through Ir-Ops into ORD and it's a nightmare. One of my friends was only too happy to have switched from 2nd shift to day shift this week! As for that call...glad to help keep you amused :D I was going to call again to have them give you a bit of grief if it hadn't been such chaos down there :p

It was great to see y'all & look forward to doing it again soon!

I hope that you didn't reveal our lobster secret...

I gotta get back to Chicago soon....sorry I missed this one!

Actually I did say "Where's meducate???? He needs to be here for this!!!" :D I even thought of you two weeks ago when we were also at Gibsons & the lobster issue was, uh, mentioned :p And yes, you do need to get to Cgo soon, although there was some discussion last night of me planning a trip to NYC in the next couple months!

The two trips need not be mutually exclusive... :D

I thought it was the one about the famous TV actress saying to me, "I'm bored. Let's get f*****d up (drunk)." :p

Any lunch/dinners planned for this week? I'm heading to ORD tomorrow till Thurs.

ElmhurstNick Dec 18, 2005 11:30 am

Sorry, I don't think so. I know I'm working from home most of this week so I can save my commute time and get Christmas shopping done instead.

I'm out of town between work & the holidays pretty much all week. Slight chance I'll be here on Wednesday during lunchtime...drop me a PM if you get something put together, though it will likely not be until late Tuesday that I"ll know. You heading out to LaFox again?

No LaFox this trip. I am headed out west Tuesday morning though. Other than that I have a mtg Wed at 10am downtown for an hour, so if your free Wed I have no plans. I'll PM you my cell phone number.

Other than 2 mtgs so far I have nothing else to do in ORD. :D But I needed 3K miles to get to 125K, so mission accomplished. ;)

Ah, then you have learned well, Grasshopper. I couldn't resist saying that! Actually, to all my friends in Chi-town, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
And Grasshopper, I look forward to meeting you during one of my visits next year...I hear we have some things in common! ^

1K SNA...Willie I and Indo79 are headed down to the south side of Chicago for Lem's ribs on Wednesday night.

Where are you staying? Are you downtown? We have more than one car so we can drive

Ooh, I wish I could make that, but I'll be on my way downstate by then.
