Hey everyone,

Sorry I've not been around much lately. In fact, today is the first time I've logged onto FT since March 13! WTH is up with that? Well, life's been ridiculously busy the last couple of weeks. Trip to LA for the weekend, then kicking off a huge new project at work the week of March 16, which meant I was working late into the evening with coworkers and had no FT time, followed by coming home for less than 24 hours and then jetting off to Summit, our annual conference for clients in Philly, where I was once again on the go and working the long hours, plus socializing with people I don't see but about once a year every night. Anyway I'm back and it's going to take me a long time catch up on the 100+ pages of Box I missed, but hopefully I won't disappear again for two weeks.

And yes, it's good to be back on here! Missed chatting with you all.

We missed you and glad you are back!

When arriving in FRA on a CO flight, is it possible to get to the DL CRC (or other ST+ lounge)? Also, the DL website says that the FRA CRC has showers - is this correct?

The CRC is in the transit area, so it should be accessible both on the outbound and inbound. It's in the D pier and I cannot remember if there is any obstruction between it and C pier. Last time I was there, both piers fed into the same immigration/customs area.

I'll break 100k miles with this trip.


OH - want me to bring you some choccie!!!

It's about time you went back. And here I thought I my trip the other week was cheap. You know if you had asked me to bring back chocolate I would have but you asked someone else. :rolleyes: I know I would never have been able to bring back enough tea bags for you.

Here's a re-posting of a video of your potential landing.

sfogate - How's the knee?

You are so right. :D I seriously thought about letting the air out of all her tires.

The knee was wonderful on Monday and by Tuesday night I was starting to get some aches and pains. Today I still have those pains but it's mostly muscle aches from walking normal finally. Atleast I hope that's what it is.

Tonight's episode of Iron Chef America (yes, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I am watching it) is sponsored by Pizza Hut. That just seems wrong to me.

Hi box --

Just completed the purchase of imitation cubic zirconia to convert dergon_gf to mrs_dergon

Hands still jittery after just clicking the "complete purchase" on BlueNile.com.

Trying to be a true FTer though, I timed it out to the CO.com double the miles on OnePass shopping with PPMC.......purchase should get me over 100k miles and near to 2k flex elite miles. :)



Now it's off to Vegas (perhaps for the last time as a bachelor)

Congrats and I hope you hit it big on the tables as well ;)

Yeah, but what happens if you forget to charge them in between trips? ;)

I am a travel machine. That is simply something I don't forget. There is one time I forgot the charger though :o

One time, and one time only!

Go do water therapy. Seriously; it's wonderful and the best thing is you'll be the youngest one there and feel amazing when you're done ;)

It does. Plus1 was certain it was a fake show for a long time. It took some doing to convince him otherwise.

At least it's not brought to you by Domino's (or Little Caesar, etc.)

Well, we had a choice of steak or fish.

I truly fail to see the difference.

It is so sad, as the original really was a very well done show. And its legacy is this crap. I finally remembered that there was college basketball on and changed the channel in time to catch the end of the Pitt-Xavier game. I'm not really sure how many more games Pitt can pull out at the end like this, but I need them all - I have them as the champs in my bracket.

I like ICA somewhat, not as good as the original, but not nearly a bad as some of the others.

I prefer Chopped however, it is nice seeing how irate chefs get over using boxed macaroni to make a dish :D

At least Pizza Hut is trying to branch out with overpriced pasta now - Domino's experimentation is subs that taste like cardboard.
