Hockey free agency at noon tomorrow. The Devils made some smart moves today. David Clarkson re-signed at 3yr/$8MM, released Jay Pandolfo and Andrew Peters. Paul Martin unlikely to stay, and no buzz yet on whether or not Kovalchuk will stay.

Another state technically-but-not-really entered today: MO. Greetings from MCI, probably a new low in my list of airports.

Hyatt came through with perfect timing. They comped me Diamond until 2012 :eek: Now lets hope I can actually take advantage of it unlike my SPG status match :(

Excellent - don't know if you need to call Hyatt to get the status on the upcoming stays updated or not.

... classy. :-::-::-:

Not the classiest way of stating the problem but I've been at a gate where a similar announcement's been made.

I referred to the concourse floors as "reminiscent of a bowling alley" on my first visit. And I'm sleeping in MO from Friday through Tuesday ...

Now I am doubly convinced that I did the smart thing of not taking a camera and letting him do all the photography. :) ^

No bloody kidding. Great pictures sbm12. I just got back and I'm not sure I want to look at mine yet.

Make no mistake, Delta Air Lines is the Wing of Satan. If you fly Delta, you are patronizing Satan and deserve whatever comes of the experience. That is all.

So if AmEx says "decision by mail in 14 days", that generally means denial, I'm guessing.

Not necessarily - I was "decision by mail" on two cards I carry (Citi OneWorld USA card and the Fidelity Retirement AmEx card). And everyone seemed to be decision by mail on the BA card.

Or taking your 15 yr old daughter to her concert.

I strayed, and read the thread about the hapless Great Dane.

Parsing a couple of the posts, it seemed to indicate that there was a military re-assignment in this thing. If that were the case, possibly a tragedy might have been averted by use of air cargo, non-stop, and with proper caging for the oversize animal. Won't make any judgment, because there appears to be plenty of poor judgment already, from the start of this thing right up to the present.

I guess there is limited hope. 30K :-:points would be nice, but 10K just for switching away from the Hilton card isn't awful. If I get denied, I'll just switch.
