Not only that it wasn't sticking (click on a date, wouldn't hit to the page)

I did - thank you! I didn't want to call you back again because it sounded like you had your hands full - literally! Glad she did so well. Nothing worse than a ground delay though - would have been better to be up circling with her I'm sure. Glad the snow stopped. It is supposed to be really pretty in a day or two!

Well THAT sounds like it was a fun day! But you didn't get out of control? :p

Yes, IAH is sure to be a mess. Glad I got in when I did. The flight was actually quite smooth though they closed it down early in anticipation for bumps. I saw lots of GAs all around C.

:mad::( I'm so sorry! I was really looking forward to it!

I think I would have stayed home before driving that far in that weather.

I was too. But right now my 3:00 PM departure is showing 6:00 PM, with an arrival around 8:00 PM. At this point I've pretty much written off making the FT dinner and am most concerned about just getting to Houston tonight. I have a family engagement tomorrow morning that I REALLY need to be there for. Even if I get in very late tonight, I just want to get there tonight.

I guess there is good news in this flight delay for me. The plane is here — came in last night. The crew is here, and they overnight last night here so shouldn't be any time-out issues. In fact, I went through security with them, and they were my crew from IAH-ATL yesterday afternoon. So if the damn storms will hurry up and move east, like they appear to be slowly doing on the radar, I'll get to Houston tonight, and maybe in time for dessert at Backstreet.

Looks like SPG.com is even more :rolleyes: than usual today. Just timed it and it took 12 minutes to load my recent activity. Granted I'm on the ATL PC's Wi-Fi, but FT is running along smoothly, as is CO.com, weather.com, and several other sites I have up. SPG is beyond crawling. Did they "upgrade" their connection between the web server and the Internet to a 56K modem for the weekend or something?

Ugh - my flight was just delayed 2 more hours. :(

Isn't this fun? Mine's still showing 6:00 PM. We'll see what happens.

Parts of U.S. 59 had high water before Lufkin. I just nosed the little Altima through the waters and thanked heavens that I had Amex comprehensive rental insurance. :D

Hey, I still have my 300 baud C= modem upstairs, they could borrow that.

Got to love it when a passenger goes crazy due to flight delays. Guy in the ATL PC just got heated over the delays on this flight, saying that the weather is "fine" (well, it's fine here, but that's not the problem) and that CO is "just wanting to delay, delay, delay, and then cancel his flight" just to "p!ss him off." Uh huh. Yeah. Somebody at CO HQ on Smith Street really hates this particular guy and is willing to delay over a hundred other people just to make him mad. You know what, dude, sh!t happens. Travel often enough and you'll have eventually have a day where the weather is cr@p and you're not going anywhere anytime soon. Mature people just deal with it. They don't go off on an innocent agent claiming her employer is doing this just to make you mad.

It might be an improvement in speed over what they're serving up right now.

Another SPG.com gripe — I found out the hard way the other day that unlike every other hotel chain I frequent, if you download your SPG reservation to your calendar, it includes every detail except the hotel's phone number. I needed to call the hotel, though I could just pull up my calendar entry in the BlackBerry and the phone number would be there, but no, it's not. It's there if you use the download to calendar feature that Marriott, Hilton, and Intercontinental have, but not SPG. Guess it's kind of like the parking charge information that's usually missing from their website. Someone just figured "no traveler will ever want to know this." :rolleyes:

Sounds like we have a tarmac lightning rod volunteer. :rolleyes:

I'll gladly volunteer him for anything that gets him out of the PC. At least now he's shut up.
