I would guess that he gives them in excess of 100 nights a year and most likely at a corporate rate of some sort.

He does have a pretty good job with an international company that is (I think) in the water purification systems business. That means for him some weeks each year in places like Dubai.

I come to more realization on why I hear on the train the following annoucement every once and a while "Please walk to the rear of the train for seats. To get to the rear of the train, walk in the opposite direction that the train is traveling."

Some older guy that looked like a cross between a pirate and a washed up country singer - honestly no clue who he was. He called someone an SOB and when the camera cut to the person he was speaking about, he gave him the finger.

He's coming in early in the week before that Saturday game and working and staying in NY, almost certainly at the Barclay. At IC hotels, he always invites his friends to his suite with the open mini-bar (did anybody say "almost all the free booze you can drink?"). On the next day after the game on the 28th, Sunday 3/1, he will be leaving for home sometime in the afternoon.

That open mini-bar thing will be what I miss most about not requalifying for Royal Ambassador again. :(

I think that an evening at George Keeley's would be just the sort of NY experience that szg would love. If it really happens, I think that I might even come up to NY from Fla for the day to lift a few with the Box crowd and one of the truly good guys from the EU branch of FT.

Thanks everyone for the camera bag advice. I ordered the Tamrac Velocity 7x so I'll see how it does as a walk around bag in Brussels.
