Morning, Box. It is going to be absolutely nuts trying to get everything done here, get packed, and zoom to PHL in time for my flight.

Oh, and did I mention that our chapel speaker this morning is Henry Kissinger?

Morning/Afternoon/Evening Box

Morning, Box. Only another week before my computer gets here. :( :rolleyes:

G'day box.

Couple things of note:

It's nice to not be in Canada. Although we're importing "team Canada" down for the weekend.
It's soooo nice out today. Work + back deck = :cool:
Looks like my bachelor party date is moving due to some schedule conflicts. I might actually be able to make the footie DO. :-:
My job is at a point that I don't have to do anything (except put out the occasional fire) until Sept. 1, my team is so far ahead. Our fiscal year ends Sept. 30th, so looks like there will be a nice bonus in my future.

Morning BOX!!

Dishes in the dishmachine from dinner last night!!

Checked in for my flight to ATL!

Talked with a guy last night that has been to CDG, LHR, Austria, etc and asked if he collected miles. Answer was no but I am getting my SWA points!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Told him I would show him the error of his ways, he stopped talking to me!!

You all over-spent for the reward. Our team ended with 25,712 and only one person maxed out. And we'll each get exactly the same bonus as you.

Summer is bad for MRs. Fares are generally higher.

Ladera, right? Wife and I had dinner there while we were staying at what was the Hilton down below it on the water. Nice property.

G'morning, Box. Johnnie Walker tasting last night was a very cool event. Then out in Jersey City and then out in the West Village. It was a busy night. Midnight diner at Gray's Papaya was probably a little later and a little less healthy than I should have gone for, but it got the job done.

Morning Box,

TGIF! We are hosting a small cocktail party at our house tonight (was to be a deck party, but looks like the weather will be :rolleyes: by 6 pm).

The good thing about drinking... it is not weather dependent. :)

We will be heading up there for the DO which I think will happen last weekend in August. That 767 nonstop ATL-ANC will do the trick for us coming out of Florida.

I'm already in my second week of teaching the fall semester by then :rolleyes:

Not really "overspent" - there are four people who fly SkyTeam USA anyway (and I requested the last diamond join just out of principle to get four people max miles).

I'm at the conference. My presentation is actually right after lunch :rolleyes:, so I'm going to catch up with computer-based work first.
