I think watching it is the only thing that links me to any sort of masochistic activity...

^ I just sent it to you at the email address you have posted in 2.0. I have no idea what kind of offer they extend via referrals, so if you find something better, please take that!

Thanks for the offer, herr ALCO beat you to it for the account setup last year. I'm moving over to SPG and need to churn cards but I think I'll hold out for a better offer.

Evening Box. Just finished a terrific diner here in NYC with sbm12 (and wife), rolov, my GF. Thanks to sbm12 and +1 for sharing their favorite place with us.

ETA: thank you rolov for the ride back. :-:

What was said favorite place? I feel like whatever establishment gets the sbm12 gold star amongst all of NYC definitely is worth knowing.

I'm also probably acclimatized to NOT having to do this, since I drive so little on a regular basis these days (a couple of airport trips a month, maybe a NYC/CT run, etc) - it's like the climate stuff we were talking about the other day.
See, I don't mind driving long distance. As long as the kiddos are entertained (rear seat DVD screens should do the trick), I don't mind. As for going in/around NYC. I don't take 287 around.. I usually hit the GWB to the Henry Hudson Pkwy, to the Saw Mill River Pkwy, to the Cross County Pkwy, to the Hutchinson River Pkwy, winding up on the Merritt Pkwy. No trucks to deal with and the drive on the Merritt is nice. Having lived in PHL and driven up and down the I-95 corridor from BOS to WAS at different times of the year, I am familiar w/ the traffic, unfortunately.

I need to have the SO at the Department of Safety at 0800 (transfer drivers license) then go to the office on a day off to write a report due Monday (I'm thanking my colleagues on this one).

True, LH and NH FA's seem overworked and frazzled with a Full F cabin. Not that LH F is all that awe inspiring (granted I'm very jaded towards OZ, SQ, and LX) but there is a noticeable downgrade from 6-9/16 to 16/16.

On the other hand, OZ, SQ, TG, and LX seem to go off without a hitch in a full(er) F cabin.
