Two hours until my next phone call for work. I should find lunch but don't know what I want today.

There was Randolph (Winston's daddy) and, in the UK, there's a stupid dog on the TV that advertises car insurance.

I haven't nor will I.

Yes, and ones before, documented back to the settlement of the isles, undoubtedly. On a trip in February, I happened to watch a rerun of the British version of Antiques Roadshow. Antiques are very inexpensive, because there's just so many. My figures may be a bit faulty here, but a lock of Elizabeth I hair in a gold pendant, 12 quid. Books signed by Sir Winston from his library, 8 pence.

Looking to clear one more potential commitment off my calendar - if that happens, I'll be off to Sydney for multiple days ^

I'm probably more likely to focus on building up my SPG balance, since we've spent those points as quickly as I've earned them the last few years, and maybe chasing after a renewal of at least Marriott Gold, since I'd only have to toss them a few stays to get there.

I've got a few more months left on my Hyatt Fast Track promo, so will be waiting until the next announced promo to finish up the last four nights to get me to Diamond. I feel I did fairly well from the BWB points promo.

At that point in the evening I don't think Seth cared ;)

And yes, Winston is a bit of a lush...luckily he's only about a foot tall, can't reach the beer shelf by himself.

But would you buy car insurance from a dog?

I wouldn't buy car insurance from anyone. I don't have a car.
