How's EZE treating you, notabob?

It was great, as always! Still my favorite city south of the border. Just got back home today, but did manage to catch up with rolov on Tue.. He sends his :rolleyes:

Baglady JR. is solidly at the bottom of the pool. I am still in third place (a tie with lots of folks) and anything can still happen. My % to win is as high as first place, so I have hope!

I called both of those, so I'm fortunately down just three games thus far (WKU, Dayton, and Okla. St.).

That'll teach me not to read the backlog of Post Whore Missives that I missed out on in the last day. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, that's been my modus operandi here in the box for the past few weeks. Need to come up with a better excuse for how spending time reading the b:rolleyes:x is beneficial to my work.

So spread the wealth! Plat on CO early, match and plat/1k/exp/ on someone else afterwards...

Just went from route 21 to 1 and 9 and saw six jets lined up on the turnpike visual approach...sweet sight :)

Tell him I know the son of the woman who's brother is head of the Army. We can get you out of jail should the need arise. :D

And you said you didn't understand Napoleanic law. Since you apparently speak some strange language I have to assume is related to ancient laws I think you'd do fine sitting for the LA bar. :p

No 2xEQMs on those. :eek:

India is phenomenal. I wish I (and the missus) had the time to go back and really visit. We did 10 days and it was nowhere near enough. I don't know that 3 months would be enough. I'll play manny on that trip if you want, though Mrs. sbm12 would kill me at that point, I think.

Hmm...tempting. Can we get the harosset past the TSA? Or is it considered a liquid?

We should start calling it that in NYC, too. Daily Show had a great bit with drunks ostensibly commenting on the financial meltdown that ultimately ended in some drunk guy grabbing the mike and yelling J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. Yeah, drunken morons (who aren't me). :rolleyes:

When are you looking to go? I have had MGA on my short list of places I'd love to visit that Mrs. sbm12 couldn't care less about for quite some time now. I'll meet you there, though likely flying on CO to maximize 2xEQM where I can use them.

ETA: I havent been around much the past few weeks as I am sitting for the CFP exam today and tomorrow. I am done studying for the night and after tomorrow I can finally start flying again.

Good luck tomorrow!!

Unless I did an immediate turn and didn't cross it off my list I wouldn't survive the return home. And if I did that it would likely be considered criminal, like not really visiting Oz.

So many flights I want to take, and so little time to actually take them. I didn't think I'd have that problem with a reasonably strict every other week travel policy, but apparently that just isn't enough. :eek:

I can do MGA for 4cpm (on the 2x deal) for the first weekend in April. Very tempting - moreso than BFS which is a bit cheaper and about the same miles.

Perfect thank you. I'll give him your cell # :)

What was the consensus on the best SPG properties in SAN?

With the double EQMs, this PHL-SAN fare is too good to pass up.

Perfect; I don't want to go. All you have to do it pull out the tray table (she still has trouble with that sometimes) and TV. Before take off, there are little toys and an activity or coloring book. She sleeps great on flights. I'll preorder the kids meal she won't eat and just keep her glass full of water. She may ask for snacks, but again, I'll have those packed along with her blanket and plush toy of the day. Need any other info? 15 mins in the club and y'all will be great friends ;)

I can't do first week in April. Can you pick another weekend and at least Plus1 will know someone that I can meet at MGA? What airline are you looking at?
