"Coffee shop" :p :p :D

No need to hunt for breakfast after all - went upstairs from the front desk to a room that was made up for conference...for my inconvenience, exec floor. ^

I believe your booking is based upon where you paid for it. Here's hoping you'll get your bump in IAH.

This is my believe too. In fact, you are likely to get a Y fare so could be beneficial for you at times.

I am flying down to see mom a day early for Mother's Day as I have to work Sunday. Don't know if I am really flying down to see her or the DEQMs. I guess her as I will only get 500 oneway. :)

In addition, she has some old boarding passes that my dad found of mine so it will be a fun weekend and we are headed to Galveston and then to the old hobby terminal building and the the Galleria.

I am such a good son flying all that way to see MOM!

Morning Box. Can anyone explain to me why I'm up at this time reading the box? :(

just got power back, tonight was the most fierce lightning storm I have ever seen, 80-100mph straight winds near to me, and within 15 miles around 4 major tornadoes

At a Burger King in the Leidesplein deciding what to do next...think I'll catch a tram after I pay homage to ALCO and hit up Australian Ice Cream.

yes yes, you encouraged small hubs, I picked super small :D

I wanted to pick the field up about 4 miles north east of ABI, it is grass. No better way to make use of the greatness of soviet aircraft. I can even use the Abilene AVISlube, MIDAS, and pep boys for all my needed repair hangar supplies.

Try SWO!! Great small town!!

The joys of dining out in Chelsea, sitting at the bar, without my wife. I just got hit on by a guy 10 years older than me who has a boyfriend. Quite flattering, really. And I don't feel quite as old as I did the other night :D

Just another night of living the high life. Or something like that.

Does that mean I can count you as my wingman the next time I am in town!!

Total :rolleyes: day.

Not even 5 minutes after the nanny left, BL JR got her big toe stuck under a door (no clue how she did this, but anyway). She is a kid that doesn't cry when she gets hurt but she was wailing. I ran over, couldn't move the door off of her so had to extract the toe out. I'm pretty sure it's broken, but nothing you can do with a toe. I propped her up on pillows, and have given her the important things in life - DVD player, water, Cadbury eggs and a Care Bear. It's days like this when m:rolleyes:therh:rolleyes::rolleyes:d really sucks.

Watching Sense and Sensibility because if you've had a $#it day, why not watch a movie that's a downer for 95% of it.

Plus1 is on his way to SMF so I'll be starting the party very soon ;)

Hope all returns to normal in the BagLady world soon. My Dad went to SMF just yesterday and returns in 2 weeks. I need to get out there for some vacay soon.

Just saw Bobby Knight being droped off at LBB while waiting on my parents to land.

How does the DL gate look? Did they take back over their former gate?

Well, I am rested (2 hours in the bed horizontal, caught up on the box, and now can go on my MR, I mean trip to see my Mom for Mother's Day. :D The funny thing is I planned this trip after hearing the :rolleyes: from Mom when I told her my Aunt and I are going to Brussels. I feel this makes up for that as I flying to spend the day with her and she nor anyone else we see today will have to go through a metal detector or secondary screening to see me!! I am such a wonderful son!!! :)

Ugh...... I really enjoyed it, but I think my crowd-avoidant traits might win out on that one.

Straight to the coffeeshop for you, sir.

Morning box.

Morning Box. Flight over was surpringly good - the extra few inches makes a huge difference. Flight really was full...lots of weather misconnects who missed their TATL leg.

I think I slept, not too sure...screaming baby on and off combined with a schmuck who didn't get the message wheb his seat wouldn't recline.

World edition BB works exactly as advertised :D

Shower, fresh clothes, and find my fat a$$ an omelet or something.

Glad the trip has started well for ya CM ^

Flight has caught up to me...basically dead man walking, but trying to survive to have dinner and hit the sauna. Off to the red light district now...wanted to wait for nightfall, but that's way too ambitious since I was doing the sleepy head bob on the canal cruise just now.

Forget the red light...too beat. Come back tomorrow and go out to Den Haag for MC Escher. Food, sauna, shower, bed.

It sounds like CO needs to pull the 777 from IAH-EWR since their is no slack in the schedule.
