That location is nice and close to where the evening action has moved in the last ten or so years. It used to be uptown but now everything that is happening is happening down there.

I'm equal opportunity when it comes to abusing promotions - a colleague asked me how many points / miles I earned per year. I asked if she meant all sources / all programs, then said "easily half a million".

Easily. Nearly the whole half million from the one airline and the balance from various other airlines and hotel programs.

And I am not even abusing these programs, just following the rules and putting my number in the correct places.

No, it is not. Not that far down at all. The area around WTC and Fulton is DEAD at night for the most part.

Apparently on Saturday before the major event, our annual auditor from Preferred Hotels & Resorts checked in. I found out during Train the Trainer today that I was singled out for praise by said auditor, and the chief comment was my "authoritative presence". This could be why small children cry around me.

My humble submission for Portmanteau of the Day, which happens to have much utility in the CO forum at the moment: epiculous. Epic + ridiculous = epiculous.

A hideous paint job, IMO, but a pretty cool video.

At first I was :rolleyes: over the paint job, but as the video ended I realized what a cool idea it is. They basically wrapped the fuselage in the state flag. That's a pretty :-: concept.

So I'm reading a RFP and the "CO" refers to the Contracting Officer. Twice already I've read sentences as "the Continental..." :rolleyes:

Earlier today, my supervisor asked if I wanted to write a paper and said the conference hotel was only $50 a night - Harrah's Imperial Palace. My response to the hotel was "oh God no".
