:rolleyes:Thanks! I feel better now! I believe the exact thing happened on current Toshiba Satellite I'm typing on. Bad news; I didn't back it up recently and I just put a bunch of photos on there; however I do have the memory card for the photos. Note to idiot self; always back up since you tend to lose a computer on average of once a year :mad:

There was a guy who lived near my friends and I while about 9-10 who always answered his door in superhero gear. His name, Captain Sticky. :eek:

He was a local icon, although, ewwww...

I should go to bed. I have an SMF-MEM MR tomorrow that looks like this:

PHL-IAH-SMF-IAH-MEM-IAh-SMF-IAh-PHL.

Have to leave home at around 10am to take the train to PHL. Start flying at 3pm tomorrow, finish at 11:30am on Saturday. Two overnight flights. I will be miserable on Saturday due to lack of proper sleep.

Mr.Brit and the girls are meeting me at PHL airport, and then we are driving down to DC to spend the night at the Grand Hyatt and hang out in DC for the weekend for a change. suspect I will sleep well on Saturday night.

I repeat myseslf ..... no, no, no, gross, gross, gross....


there was a guy who lived on my block when I was growing up. I remember being forbidden to speak to him, or go near his home. I'm guessing he was probably a child molester, or something of that ilk.

Okey-dokey, Box. I think I really am going to have to go to bed. I need to find the stuff I need for my MR - my kindle, netbook, neck pillow, pashmina, etc. and pack them into my MR bag.....

Good night. Will pop in tomorrow while at the airport or thereabouts.

Good evening Box.

Yup! this MR will take me very close to Plat. IAH-ANC runs x 2, plus a couple of EWR-SAT trips in June/July will get me over the 100K mark! Yee-ha!

I am so tired (and borderline drunk) tonight. I am dismayed that I need to go up to SFO next week again. :(

Since you are the GM of all GMs, can you ask Dora to give me a discount?
