Just ran a sub-22 sec. ski run on the Wii Fit. I had to :rolleyes: it up by missing the last gate; 7 sec. penalty.

Anyone thinking of slumming it in NAS for the weekend? @:-)

The SNA run seems to tempting. Too bad I have a SAT run booked. :(

You should come down on June 26 for the Great Austin Beer Festival.

Would love to but that's prime pre-wedding :rolleyes:.

This is one of my last weekends of freedom.

Ah well, the wedding is more important. I am assuming you got your bed type issues sorted out with the Marriott?

Problem is I'm apparently cold-blooded and function much better in warm climates. The reason why I'm itchin' to get out of NY this weekend is it's fixin' to be chilly. Not sure YUL is a better alternative.

Although I think we could find ourselves in a sufficient amount of trouble up there to not worry about the ambient temperature. :-:

I am trying to persuade :rolleyes:v via BBM, but he just reminded me that it's Dia de las Madres on Domingo.

Fixed.

I experienced that problem when I was in Ireland over St Patrick's Day in 2007. Mother's Day in Ireland is the Sunday afterward, and we thought we were screwed because we had not called our mothers. Turns out the Irish do it a tad bit earlier than the US. :rolleyes:

Si. I confirmed we're in a dumpster view double bed standard closet. :rolleyes:

Si. Which is why I'm free this weekend. :-:

I love how the main question since the merger has been "What is the Penalty Box?" and "I don't understand the Penalty Box....can someone explain it to me?" Ha....hell, I've been around here for over 6 years and I still don't get it...and actually really don't want to...but it is fun. :D

There is no need to understand, only to be.

Only sortof. Until the day of travel anything is possible. Even on the day of travel there could be a swap, but somewhat less likely. When is the trip? There is some speculation that IAH-NRT will see more lie-flat than not because of the two that will need to pass through for LHR service, but nothing that can really be nailed down.

Is there a union(s) issue as well?

Anyway, it's a long time 'till the merger. They're "hoping" for the end of the year. And I read this morning that the world's oldest person just died. If that turns into a trend, maybe your seniority will be restored. ;)

Good :rolleyes:, box. Lots of no sleep last night. Trying to do packet protocol analysis in this state of mind is extremely :rolleyes:.

30 minutes on Wii Fit. Haven't done that in a while. Off to shower and make a Shore run.

I'm going to have to give up my window office shortly; the battery is not going to last forever. :(
