All this talk of filing taxes has inspired me to start mine.

Mine looks to be in the five figures based on being 60% of the way through Turbotax 
, but given that I wouldn't have the discipline to save this money throughout the year and the alternative doesn't pay much more than zero anyway, I figure I'm just doing my part to pay for crop subsidies and bridges to nowhere and so forth.

I tried to get the A332 on one of the PHL-SJU flights, but it is only 2x week and the times are not that great... Departs PHL at 9am or something and leaves SJU at 3:40pm... The only way I can make it work with this routing is by overnighting in PHL and I didn't think all that trouble was worth it for the A332 on a 4 hour flight with domestic service... I will make a point one day in the future to try out the new Envoy sleeper seats ^

I may have sold Madre de Copa on doing the 7-segment LAS run from last night.
Big props to Mackieman for his quick SMS response to my beer noob needs. ^
Phudnik, Total Wine also can haz Blonde and Black. Thought about buying Blonde as well, but I have finite refrigerator space.

I just pulled a slip cover off a feather pillow too quickly. Looks like a chicken exploded in my bedroom.

Ended up not buying Blonde, but I want to try it in a smaller quantity than 24 bottles. Buying Hefeweizen the first time was odd in that I bought a case and found myself to like it. I'm not willing to take that chance twice.

Hello, Box, from UA 863.
F9 J1 Y0.
No bumps.
No upgrades. I was on an H fare with a CR-1 applied at ticketing and finished #12 out of 20 on the standby list.
This is my first time in Y on a p.s. flight, and there is NO WAY they should call it E+.
Some rows have open middle seats...not I. I'm hungry and unfortunately not tired enough to just pass out. Paid for wi-fi and maybe at least I'll get some work and/or reading done without killing the woman next to me with my elbows and various baggage. Not that she wouldn't deserve it.
Oh yeah, and when I walked through the F cabin, there were 3 people in it out of 12 seats, so I guess there were no op-ups. With 20 people on the standby list, at least 12 *G level elites on confirmed upgrade instruments missed out while F went 75% empty.
I know I'm in a mood. But. I had been so looking forward to this.
Thank you in advance for entertaining me for the next four-and-a-half-ish hours. I wish I had more than one UA drink coupon...
