That's just as scary as the flamingo obsession a former team manager at my company had. Her house was covered in flamingo crap.

OK, I'm sold. Just read the pitch for it and I'm convinced that if I ever start selling photos, I'm going to be a SmugMug Pro guy.

SmugMug is the best! Sure it costs a little more than some of the other sites, and isn't as social networking oriented as Flickr, but it sure looks good on the screen, and is fast and easy to navigate. And I love being able to customize just about everything on the site.

Looks like AC cancelled the early am DFW-YYZ on Saturdays, which led to a schedule change on my upcoming DFW-YYC itinerary. I opted for UA Codeshares DFW-SFO-YYC on the outbound. It's slightly fewer miles, and UA Y-, but I get to fly a rhombus, and try a CR7 for the first time.

I wasn't old enough to remember the winters of '82 and '83, but there are photos of me in the snow-covered yard. Perhaps I am misremembering '87 as '89, but I definitely recall temps down to 9 or so, and the massive freak-out it caused in Houston.

Yeah, could have been 1987 - or 1989. I just know there was one winter around then that it was ridiculously cold right before Christmas, and that it was around 5-6 years after the last bad cold snap, which was actually longer lasting.

You have a month time to learn her this. :rolleyes:

That's the crux of why I like it - I'm not going to take the time to build galleries and make a go of selling for social networking. I have a call in to a newspaper in the fiancee's neck of the woods about a PT photographer job there. I've heard that the money sucks, but if anything I just want to see if my stuff is good enough to attract attention.

Sunday early evening would probably be best for drinks. She will likely still be experiencing :rolleyes:-lag when we arrive on Saturday (unless she quaffs some Ambien on the IAH-CDG leg).

Yes, I will organize something for Sunday afternoon and evening for our :rolleyes: Mini-Do.

Too short of a flight for Ambien. Have her take Xanax and a few quick drinks. Then a massage upon arrival - puff; no jet lag. I'm sure her medical expertise concurs :D

Take a :rolleyes: pill and everything is fine.

Wow - that's quite the combo. What are the recommended doses, Dr. baglady? Hopefully low considering the possible effects.

My preferred dosage is One Xanax to two Bombay Sapphire & Tonics. It usually does the trick.

Every flight, in my opinion, is too short for Ambien. I'm always afraid I'll defecate in a air sickness back or something.

Benedryl does me in.
