FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Ahem. It expired yesterday.

The consulate here turned it around today for me. Just took me two trips - one to drop off and one to pick up. Had a little drama at pickup, but alls well that ends well.

Long Ball

Baglady, Baglady Jr and I watched Manny Rameriz hit a ball out of Minute Maid tonight. It looked like it was still climbing as it passsed the Citgo sign.

Holy cow.

Dude, that's a recipe for a stroke. :(

I know there are several people in here who remember when Manny was a young kid, minus the dreads...and the craziness.

(I still wear my Alomar 15 t-shirt whenever I go to games...truly a vintage item!)

Good, old-fashioned techno-lust puts a smile on my face.

Congrats on the new toy/tool/hobby/friend.

Question for the Box. Is is safe to go to CUN at the end of July? You know hurricanes and all.

Maybe they should have thought that out a little bit when doing their renovations.:rolleyes: I hope they're done by the next time I'm expecting to use the airport - October.

Congrats. Time to get back up on that horse and have some fun. Plus, you've got your gold status still and loads are light. You've even got a chance at some upgrades.

True. But my status won't help me this trip: it's on an RJ. :( And I won't necessarily be on CO or its partners for my other upcoming trips. We'll see. Anyway, thanks.

Was he a tallish sort, bald with a chipmunk face? Did his briefcase have the initials LK? Hmmm.

Actually, I will be. At least until Friday evening. I'm going diving on Friday morning so that means a very light alcohol intake today in exchange for breathing canned air tomorrow. There are actually things in my life that take priority over booze. :eek: :D

I have an Omar Vizquel bobblehead in my office. My older daughter at one point had a stuffed Omar doll (bought on sale at the team shop at Jacobs Field) but it is long since gone.
