Pillows come in very useful as lumbar support. I almost always use one for that. And I really hope they get washed after, as lower back is not a good place for a pillow to be following most airline and/or airport meals. :cool:

In any case, $7 is too much to pay for lumbar support.

The WSJ article that I am quoted in is out now online. If anyone wants an autographed copy grab one from a PC tomorrow and I'll bring my pen with me. :D

The article is about short trips and tour companies/hotels catering to those folks. I'm really sortof an afterthought in the story as I don't use those services, but She did use a couple quotes of mine about how those trips can easily veer off-course and there isn't much one can do about it. Anyways, the original article is here, and I posted about it on the Wandering Aramean blog here. So now you all know my real name. :p

Great article. I spoke with her about a year ago speaking about the BJS olympics and travel to it. Sadly, I made some of the final revisions, but not the last cut for publication.

My DL 1048 flight tonight to ATL (then connecting to IAH for the Do) is showing zeroed out. I pray the, O great Bump Gods, shine upon thy humble traveler!

Morning Box.

Just got off the phone for f/u to my iterview on Tuesday, and the call came with a nice offer.

Details to be worked out, but all is good here with a new job and a nice salary increase.

Too early for a drink, I think, but we'll rectify over the weekend.

Congrats! At first read, I was wondering why you call regarding an eff up, but realized it was follow up :o:D

Sorry, i guess it was too many years working in a hospital - I default into abbreviations that make perfect sense to me, but no one else understands.

Anyayw, this bottle of wine tonight is really good. ;)

There is a whole bunch of stuff between B and C as well as down the corridors of at least B and I'm sure C too. I think there's a Dunkin at B too.

Nice article. Sucks about having to watch the super bowl on your trip.

Time to start packing. What to wear? What to wear?

Those who care, the party flight is currently scheduled to arrive at gate C-29.

Good night Box. I've got to go to bed now since I have to get up at 4am to catch my 6am flight. See you all tomorrow in IAH.

PARTY PARTY (and some work)
