I have to say the drink sounds YUMMY! I'm having a boring glass of Shiraz.

Not only was it tasty but it was big, and strong. $10 and I'm feeling quite good. The size made it easily twice a "normal" sized cocktail. So it was more like four drinks for $10, plus tip. Not bad!

I'm slumming it with PBR here. It is Lflip night" at the bar. If you call the coin toss your beer is free. So far I'm 1/2.

That didn't work here. :(

Oh well. $10 for two drinks, $7 for some food, a few bucks for a tip, and I'm out of there. Back to my room, and now trying to decide what to have for dinner. It's cold out so I want something warm and comforting.

The Knicks-Bulls pre-game is on MSG in the bar here. I'm glad that Walt Frazier has found a new job, but he really needs to talk to the wardrobe folks. He's wearing some sort of a plaid heavy wool suit. It is ridiculous. I don't think it was stylish even in the 70s.

Where are you this week?

It's not too cold here at home, about 65.... it was cold yesterday!

Walt Frazier just did a spot for MSG that I saw during a Devils game, and in that spot he said that he walks into a men's shop and says to the staff: "Show me something that nobody would wear."

Case closed. :D

Picking a DJ for the reception is turning out to be a real pain. These people are all so cheesy. :rolleyes:

All Camaros driven in New Jersey between 1982-1989 had to have been IROC in order to be street legal in NJ. What a lot of people don't know is that GM had pioneered the use of alternative fuels for these NJ-edition IROCs. They also ran on Aqua Net.

There's no shortage of that stuff in New Jersey, that's for sure.

Food for thought:

It moved away from fare rules in favour of availability-based pricing, carefully examined the true cost and contribution of bookings via the various distribution channels and more closely aligned its sales, distribution and revenue management teams.

Today around 75% of Swiss' revenues are generated by travel agencies, which handle the majority of its corporate bookings. E-channels, such as the airline's own website and intermediaries, handle a further 20%. The remainder stems from call centre and airport ticket office ­transactions.

Makes you wonder if US legacy airlines taking the giant $hit that they did on the heads of travel agents was a smart move.

Wow - look at this EWR-IAH 762 flight scheduled for tomorrow morning.

22/25 up front were upgrades (or Y-ups I suppose) and the seat map shows that the load in the back is extremely low.
